Fukk that bytch she was probably making over 6 figures anyways.

But we’re supposed to feel for the wannabe petit bourgeois class when they feel just a FRACTION of what the average poor person goes through on the daily :camby:
Yeah I can't fancy myself to shed a tear for a privileged white woman from a class of people who benefit from our oppression crying about getting fired. Knowing that some pf our people are still getting fukked over...not even getting those looks.

Not to be a dikk...but I doubt her company even hires Black people. She can get another job.

This guy isn’t giving all the details. No big tech company would fire you immediately after hiring you unless you were fukking up. Onboarding is 3-6 months in most cases and you don’t even have responsibilities. It’s just getting paid to chill.

We have hire to fire positions where I work but it’s so managers can meet their URA quota and keep the actual valuable employees. But they can’t fire you until after about a year and it’s a long ass drawn out process.

So this dude is full of shyt or he’s weak at whatever he does and got exposed at Netflix.

This happens all the time. Do you think companies don't lay off people they recruit? She was not fired, he was laid off.

That’s sad but honestly it not a huge shock…

Netflix launches some random companion website that has ZERO buzz and then decides to pull back and let people go. Be honest have you even heard of or went to tudum…

this was a long shot position from the jump. At best this was a good year or two of salary and some stock. At worst this ends quickly and you have good resume material.


It’s no different than what google does where they start up 100 different projects and kill them off the moment they don’t seem viable.

It's a smart business decision, they need to get back to the core of their business. Running a fan site is a waste of money.

The executive that started that project left recently, and I'm assuming the new executive doesnt want this project.

This is all over a company making monumentally stupid business decisions and letting their employees take the fall.

If you ever have the opportunity to work for yourself, do it.

Also, if you have a cushy Union job with 18 weeks severance, don't trade it in to work for a non union tech company unless you're moving from entry level to executive level or something huge like that.

Tossed him in the garbage like a used kleenex. Went from 18 weeks severance to 2 weeks severance. gaaaaat dayum!


never leave a union job unless the other job is guranteed

Yup. next couple years we'll see the opposite of what we saw the last 2 years. A lot of people getting canned, especially in tech.
That's why I'm getting as much money out of these companies as possible before the inevitable downturn.

I see these young dudes on the job with barely 2 years experience with no idea about the last Recession. And not realize the good times is when you soak up game and make yourself indespendible to the bottom line. They ain't making no industry contacts nor learn any new hard to find skills. If you ain't mission critical when the next Recession hits you getting shown the door. Seen it too many times in my tech career because it's the biggest cost center for the Business usually.
