the worst part is they choose to do this

If you are young, single, no other obligations or hobbies this is probably kind of fun. Of course there is no way for an employer to do this without it turning hella toxic.

If I was young, single and had no other obligations or hobbies, I would still think long and hard about burning the whole place down, if this was even suggested at work.

I did this in college with several buddies when we were working on our own game. The game ended up going nowhere, but it was very fun in a LAN-party kind of way.

I would never do this for an employer.

I imagine many of them would be fired and deported if they protest

fired

especially in AI there are tons of roles everywhere that won't require them camping out in an office. anyone still at X is clearly a true believer

deported

uh, what. are these people immigrants?

US tech companies higher many skilled foreign workers on H-1B visas, often better educated than people here and easier to exploit with fewer protections.

For future reference if you know the name of the emoji you want, or can think of some keywords, you can type it in directly and the selector will pop up filtered to your text. For example that one is :amerikkka: (which yes I know off the top of my head bc I spend too much time here)

If you type out :amerikkka: even from an app the burning flag will appear for people using the site.

Elon did a bit a fascist infighting over H-1B visas so probably plus some interns struggling to find work maybe
