FFS. So much for "stakeholder capitalism". Space Karen is the majority stakeholder so still holds, amirite???? Also, FFS. I just let myself get pulled into more outrage culture. I'm so tired of outrage culture.

It's almost as though oligarchs having unilateral control over our most vital means of communication is not such a great thing after all…

Gen X, I need a word. What the fuck are you doing? Did you not understand ANY of the pop culture we grew up with? You are not allowed to listen to Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, Rage Against the Machine or Stone Temple Pilots until you get your shit together. SHAME

You've now got new fake accounts spoofing the apology of the real account for the behavior of the other fake accounts.

The Stockholm Syndrome is real when “mark as unread” is an _amazing_ upgrade (and, lol, I agree with you, I’ve wanted this for so long).

When times are good, no one cares about any of this stuff. But come recession, every negative signal will be amplified. So if you’re lucky to have a good team & a job you enjoy, take it seriously. Don’t fuck around.

A good company value is one you can use to make an argument. It should be able to serve as a razor for decision making. About to send a big email using one. Will let you know how it goes! – at Wyoming, USA
