Absolutely no sympathy from me.
They like the abuse and attack anyone who doesn't.
Are you generalising 6000 people here or MS?
Anyone who works for microsoft deserves much worse than getting laid off.
Why are you dunking on labour!?
JFC
Not very solidarity of you tbh
They dunked on themselves when they applied to work for one of the scummiest corporations in history.
Yeah, no. Working for the enemy doesn't get a free pass because of 'labor.'
The billionaires need labor to not organize against them. If labor organized, they'd be screwed. Luckily for them you exist. The billionaires are safe as long as they can keep you doing what you're doing now, which is try to divide labor into groups of "us" vs "them". Anything that generates friction and hinders organizing is a win for them. I invite you to help work towards a solution, there is always room for more help. There are apparently 6,000 more people who are going to be motivated and have a bit of extra time on their hands. Maybe they can help too.
Attacking the labour I see and not the system they have to get by in.
Like i kind of get it, I’m a software developer and would never work for a gambling company, but I ain’t out here shitting in those who do.
Yeah. Working for microsoft was the only option. Greed and consumerism had nothing to do with it. They had no choice and it wasn't about making the most amount of money to live the most luxurious lifestyle while children starve.
We're different people.
Clearly. As I’m not insufferable, whereas you’ve got that on lock.
Right. You're just trying to look good in front of your peers.
I have no interest in looking good my friend. I’m just as flawed as the rest of us.
If you say so.
Trying to look good in front of your peers doesn't mean pretending you're perfect.
Oh fuck off pal. You sound like a child.
Irony at its finest.
