Is Silicon Valley Clown World?
Is Silicon Valley Clown World?
Yes. Absolutely nobody outside of California takes them seriously.
No, that sounds based as fuck. Not all businesses can sustain continuous growth, so they can't just park employees who effectively don't get enough work to contribute to the company. Nothing wrong with laying people off and giving them a farewell party, it's better than most companies that just tell you to get the fuck out before security comes to escort you
California in general is clown world, silicon valley and Hollywood just have the disposal income to fully revel in it
It has always been a weird cult.
You're still out of job
imagine being so autistic that you'd prefer an impersonal phone call or email over them treating you like a human being. Unless you're the government or a company so huge and mismanaged nobody even cares about wasting money, layoffs happen.
That's life. You think you got anything back in like 1890 if your employer ran out of work? No you were told to fuck off. These guys got a party and almost 100% guaranteed severance and unemployment. It's not a clown world you dumb fucks are just pussies just like the SJWs you clown around about. Stop being so goddamn sensitive to everything
Post Malone gives off the impression of a bum, so it may have been a way to ease the transition into a new role for those who were fired.
>We're sorry that you've lost your job, but to make amends we've paid this millionaire here *points* to sing a song to you.
>user we cant pay u anymore
>but we have the money to hire celebs to gloat at your misfortune, its more humane that way
Wow these companies have some good priority and honesty, seems like they will never mismanage they funds. Upvoted.
clickhole is satire, babby
I live in Cali and maybe it's a case of "from the inside looking out", but everything seems fine. What's wrong with this state?
I lived there and it was total shit, so maybe you're just addicted to crack
That's the point. Only one of those is clickhole - the other actually happened. The satire is becoming reality.
>a few hundred thousand for a short live performance outside of touring season
>paying hundreds of software developers and other white collar workers each 6-figure salaries year after year
The payroll tax for those hundreds of employees alone was probably in the tens of millions. A singer and some cheap booze is fucking nothing compared to the cost of keeping people employed, literally a drop in a lake.
Maybe you should stop being fucking poor then. Orange county and the bay have tons of bougie as fuck areas with no homeless. It's usually just the shithole parts of town where the poor people live that have problems
Still cheaper than keeping you, you fuckin faggot.
wait that bit on the silicon valley show was real?
World is clown world
>Still cheaper than keeping you, you fuckin faggot.
>cheaper
If money is the concern then why throw a party at all? Instead of facing their ex employee like a man with dignity and being honest about it, the company chose to send these passive agressive message, "we're still doing good without you", its just a low test scummy move that only a basedboy could've thought of.
So people can enjoy it and leave on good terms in case they need to rehire them... You tard. They're not just disposable burger flippers, some of them are undoubtedly top of their field for their level. It's the same reason why you don't burn bridges when you resign
If i got fired to post malone i guarantee you id hate the cunts for life
>So people can enjoy it and leave on good terms in case they need to rehire them
You know what really would put me on good terms with a company who had to fire me?
Instead of throwing an extremely expensive party, which at best is severely cringy, at worst looks like I am made fun of, just pay me a couple of months of wages out, wish me luck and let me go.
> rehire them
>undoubtedly top of their field for their level
Good luck getting them back without a massive pay rise
Why would you think tech would change anything to the underlying power structure?
>Clickhole
You do realize that's a parody news site right?
Yes, that is the joke.
On the left you got a satire article, with a ridiculous joke and in the right apparently a very similar thing happen in reality.
this. i would shit on my desk on the way out if that happened.
Clown thread?
Yes.
I'd rather take all the spendings over planning and performance for myself as a bonus.
Yes
Fortunately for the rest of us, the Californian Ideology is now the global ideology, so we're all next in line for living like they do in the bay area.
Yes. How about less ping pong tables and free drinks, more dollars in my account. What a load of shit
>hiring people who exist specifically to mock you
>treating you as a human being
uuuuuuh.....
