some_guy, Seems like another good time to mention the Better Offline podcast, where it’s two eps into a three parter about how shit these companies are. They have a website, just search for it.
ericjmorey, Better Offline podcast
Cool Zone Media is outrage porn in podcast form. I think I’m better without anything they produce in my life.
some_guy, That’s an interesting take. The Women’s War show was especially interesting, I thought. What about that (or other shows) do you consider outrage porn?
I’ll keep your comment in mind and asses whether I think it applies when I listen to a few new eps. I can see it for Better Offline, but not universally across their content.
ericjmorey, I may have stated it too strongly, but of the few podcast episodes I’ve listened to it seemed like the organization is leaning into it (because it works well from a business standpoint).
I look for sources of entertainment that don’t lean so hard on outrage as a hook and look to inform myself with media that highlights and encourages solutions and practical actions that can be initiated on an individual level.
some_guy, That makes sense to me. I like Ed Zitron’s show more than Robert Evans’s show. He seems genuinely exasperated at how shitty the tech industry has become. I think BtB is decent filler material that I’m ok with skipping, whereas I presently want to listen to every ep of BOL because it’s new and covering interesting topics.
I feel the same way about The Last Podcast on the Left: decent filler in between the shows I care much more about, ok if I miss it for a while.
disconnectikacio, Fck google fck you sundar
homesweethomeMrL, Seriously Google. What the hell is wrong with you.

partial_accumen, Well, probably better than having them all attend the conference, get everyone hyped up and THEN lay them off.
CosmicCleric, (edited ) From the article …
Though Google didn’t detail headcount, some of the layoffs at Google may have been confirmed in a WARN notice filed on April 24. WARN, or the California Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, requires employers with more than 100 employees to provide 60-day notice in advance of layoffs. In the filing, Google said it was laying off a total of 50 employees across three locations in Sunnyvale.
