A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Hey there, friend :)

I just wanted to mention to you directly that you are a human being and you have choices here.

First acknowledging that you do need to stay employed of course and I don't blame you, as the worker, for helping Reddit during this moment. But there are these few moments each day at your work where you can make small, deliberate decisions on behalf of your fellow human beings over hollow corporate furtherance.

Just do a bit less each day. Forget to send an email here and there. Copy the wrong "Debbie" or "Todd" in that email that you do send - honest mistake. Forget to ban that mod you are asked to ban, or forget one in the group. If you're feeling bold, get off of your work machine and reach out to those mods on a dummy account with a heads up.

Again, not your fault as an individual either in a broken system, but you probably have small opportunities every day to help the world (and hurt Reddit a bit). Embrace those opportunities.

We believe in you.

Or just start lining up work elsewhere. I'm not convinced we need sabotage at this point, but Reddit probably isn't going to get better for users or employees.

Exactly … don’t destroy your reputation… just find a new job if you hate the company you work for.

Also, you should probably avoid trash-talking Reddit when interviewing. I hear potential employers hate that.

well yea any employer really. never bring any toxic energy... they'll see it as a red flag.
