How can you terminate me if I already quit? This was a waste of express mail, both of our time, and paper. I guess it feels good to tell someone that you “terminated” them.

Tech CEOs screwed up, and it’s time to hold them accountable by Matt Weinberger

Tech CEOs screwed up, and it's time to hold them accountable By Matt Weinberger Author's Friend Ed Zitron argues in a column for Insider that workers are taking the fall and losing their livelihoods for what's ultimately those CEOs' fault: “Any executive who participates in decision-making that leads to hundreds or thousands of people losing their jobs should be the one leading them out the door,” he writes.  The one thing that everybody seems to agree on is that it'll get darker before the next dawn in Silicon Valley, so expect a lot more conversation over how and why we got here.  Is it time for CEOs to start losing their jobs?  Ed Zitron argues for Insider that the thousands of tech workers who lost their jobs in recent months are actually just taking the fall for the real problem in Silicon Valley — CEOs who aren't up to the task…

Wild training material

I recently accepted a remote position that sounded like easy money, new company no reviews just kinda took a dive… this is their training material. I was/am still shocked when I saw “broke AF”, I read the long message assuming the potential client self proclaimed their self as “broke af” and they did not. Whoever created this training material, or approved it to be used for training… what the fuck? The position is a warm lead chat agent… am I overthinking this or is this a red flag?

My manager has been adding random unpaid lunch times when I’m still working

I work by myself most of the time so it’s impossible to not be on the clock because no one can cover me for a lunch. I’m in a state where it’s required I get one, but I was fine working through it if I got paid. Just checked my time card because I had a bunch of changes the last couple weeks. These times are impossible for me to have lunches because before noon is when we are busiest.
