Reddit Migration

You know the phrase "business genius"?

Spez is a business idiot.

He's had money thrown at him from VCs, thousands of people generating content, and administering content for free, sitting on a goldmine of data and goodwill and Community spirit, and he's managed to lose money, burn bridges, and fuck up the whole deal all for thppe sake of chasing a few dollars of API revenue and a bruised ego. All while others make millions and gain significant community support using the exact same data with business models he could have just copied or shared in.

He's had every opportunity. He's fucked it up at every step.

Business idiot.

Fire spez.

God what a mess. The only people left employed by Reddit at this rate will be the managers lol.

Huh.... because they are all describing a particularly shitty work environment, there is a good bet that there are other employees who feel that way. It might indeed not be the protests that kill Reddit - but Reddit itself that kills Reddit.....

I feel really bad for these people. I really hope they'll quickly find a good opportunity to leave.

Well, good news. After the IPO, Spez will fuck off into the sunset and layoffs will be a'commin!

Wow thanks for posting, what a read. I suspected average employees would not like what is going on.

I can relate, up until recently I was in a company whose product and decisions I strongly disliked and browsing r/antiwork like wild to cope. I was close to burnout due to the mismanagement and work heaped on me.

Until eventually something in me snapped and I went and found a better job. Is everything good here? God no, but my current manager is nice and my workload more manageable for now and I learned I have options if it grows unmanageable again, a lot of options actually.

So thanks for those who keep posting to move on as well, it‘s a bit repetitive and perhaps obvious, but useful nonetheless for those who don‘t see it yet.

Though if one loves the product and coworkers and work and the main shit thing is the management, maybe a union would be the more useful solution. It‘s a good way to influence some of these decisions, perhaps what makes my current employer better is the presence of a union.

@abff08f4813c are they hoping to be fired by posting these comments on Reddit itself? Wouldn't surprise me. What a shithole.

That kind of work environment is unsurprising given he idolizes Musks Twitter. From what I have heard, in general Musks companies are known to be horrible to work for.

Not to say Reddit is good, but Blind is the most toxic community I’ve ever seen and it has a very strong filter for bitter employees.

I’d take the discussion there with a grain of salt, though I expect morale at Reddit is pretty terrible right now.

Lol it's funny to read how so many tech companies are sort of the same. I have no idea why they make these companies so damn top heavy. Like I don't need 5 layers of managers. I don't need 100 people above me. I need like 95 of them to be doing actual work rather than just talking about how they are going to shuffle the same people around into new teams and wonder why that isn't producing better results. It's the same number of people you idiots you want more work you need more resources. It's legit the same dumb crap everywhere you go. For some reason people in the tech world don't know how to run an org to save their damn life.

@abff08f4813c so "ex-FAANG" managers coming in for their CIA sabotage manual any% runs isn't just happening at discord?

makes sense to me
