My last employer also asked us to put up glassdoor reviews, but that was when they generally had a good image on the site and had received a few (honestly undeserved at the time) negative reviews.

As things changed for the worse, my colleagues and I watched their rating slowly decline over the course of a year and a half. The higher ups quickly stopped mentioning it. They… do not have a good image on glassdoor anymore.

Are you able to submit a new review? I didn’t leave my own review until after I was laid off, so I haven’t bothered to “update” mine.

Do not speak the deep magic to me, witch; I do not understand it.

I was part of a group of people who got laid off from a small startup a few months ago. Many of us formed a discord group and have been supporting each other through the job hunt.

One guy who’s been at his job for about a week recently said this:

Many people have told me you shouldn’t take a job doing something that you love… That’s the main lesson I learned from getting laid off

You end up pouring all your energy into it. I wanna do something that I hate, and I’ll use that hate and anger to fuel something else 😈

It feels kinda good to look evil right in the face and put on a fake smile and say “yes I will take money from you to do bullshit work”

It really only applies if success of the company is your primary concern.

I always thought it was supposed to reference market sentiment.

If your company is focused on X, but is also doing Y, and the market is really taking up with Y, you need to focus on keeping Y alive and well. Makes for a successful company to respect the market’s wishes, and allows you to pursue X while Y is subsidizing it.

If you insist that X is the future, and put Y on the back burner to focus on X, well, the market will find a competitor who is doing Y better than you, and the market will abandon you.

It does have some weird crypto stuff it promotes/offers after a vanilla install, but you can hide literally all of it. Brave is my daily driver, and looking at my installs you’d never know it had crypto stuff integrated.

I’ve seen a few lemmy discussions on this so far, and honestly the best option I’ve seen is to just ignore Place.

To participate, even to advertise lemmy, we would have to engage, which is what reddit is looking for. Even then, admins will likely take the reigns and prevent any serious effort from being fruitful. There’s just not that much benefit and plenty of downside.

It’s attention seeking behavior. Ignoring it and letting the event fall flat (or at least as flat as is in our power) would send so much more of a message than “join lemmy” or “fuck spez”.

I mean, define “too big”.

They seem to be doing alright atm, though who knows how much of that is a byproduct of recent immigration.
