@volpeon@icy.wyvern.rip WHO THE FUCK GREEN LIT THIS?
I mean... GenAI.. Meh...
But for fucks sake... Just think for a moment...

@volpeon what amazes me is people keep signing up to work for companies that just dispose of them at their earliest convenience

@volpeon I know with 'graphics' here they don't mean 'artist drawing 2d images' but like... come on.... have some decency...

@volpeon I might die of cringe. The irony is suffocating me.

@volpeon dual faced emotes when?

@Erpel @volpeon better question: Who would want to work for these talentless clowns?

@volpeon@icy.wyvern.rip maybe they should be looking for graphic designers as well as developers. :neofox_laugh_sweat:

It’s amazing how these people can’t see. Not exactly evoking trust from a graphic driver department.

@Erpel @volpeon Completely blind these people, it’s amazing.

@icedquinn @volpeon didn't they just fire thousands of people

@sun @volpeon yeah for whatever reason everyone just puts up with employees being treated as disposables

@catraxx@tech.lgbt @volpeon@icy.wyvern.rip people who need to pay their bills?

@icedquinn @volpeon @sun no you see we are always hiring as the line must go ever upwards
We fire people to hire new ones, hooray!

@Erpel @volpeon Yeah to be laid off at a moments notice. Don't think that'll help with the bills that much.

@pwm @volpeon @sun you joke but its called stack ranking the CEO for GM came up with the doctrine that you should always be firing people to scare the rest

@icedquinn @pwm @volpeon microsoft does in fact do stack ranking, or at least used to

@sun @pwm @volpeon everyone basically does its one of those harvard business turmors

when i looked up what the hell this was it even came up with articles about its so hated that companies instruct HR et all to hide it so people can't criticize the practice

google combines it with some other ever shifting scoring matrices but they openly do it

total ivy league death

@icedquinn @pwm @volpeon I am pretty sure in Microsoft's case now though they are just firing people so they can hire more Indians

@sun @pwm @volpeon deming had some scathing yet professional words for the harvard mba types and it was basically "they're taught everything about acquiring businesses and nothing about how to run one"

@sun @pwm @volpeon i'm pretty sure its just the investors wanted dividends so they fired everyone to make the numbers. now its a new fiscal quarter so they're hiring so some manager can grow his department.

there is no grand plan in most cases its just people following local perverse incentives.
