Ooh! Guilherme Orlandini Heurich, an anthropologist, was researching the Ruby community.

He went through a boot camp and worked as a Ruby engineer while doing an ethnographic study. His book about it has just come out!

The thing about #tech #layoffs that people who haven’t been through it often don’t understand is that morale never recovers. The employees who remain will never have the same relationship with that company, bosses or peers.

Watching people you respect pack their stuff and crying on the phone with their spouses is something that never goes away. When I survived a layoff in my 20s I became a “do exactly what the ticket says” person. I stopped suggesting ideas, providing feedback, believing anything a manager told me.

If you are a company considering layoffs, especially a profitable company, you should approach it as “this department will have 100% turnover”. The second I got another job offer I left that company and six months later nobody who had been there at the time of layoffs remained.

I’ve seen that pattern play out multiple times.

Herr Lindner meinte heute: "wer etwas Neues finanzieren will, muss sagen, woher das Geld kommen soll - sprich, was nicht mehr finanziert werden soll"

Ich hätte da ein paar Ideen:

Dieselprivileg 8,2 Mrd
Pendlerpauschale 6 Mrd
Dienstwagenprivileg 3,1 Mrd
Steuerrabatt Kerosin 8,3 Mrd

I drew this in 2020, posted it on the birdsite, and it went viral (at least by my standards!), earning me 250 new followers.

It shows how much battery various stars would have left if they had battery indicators like phones do. #MastoArt
