Big Tech Employees Have Become Entitled Adult Babies
I was one of them
Social media has become infected with the big tech virus.
On platforms like LinkedIn and TikTok there are these painful “day in the life of” videos. The people who post these videos present this weird-ass view of their workday.
It’s like watching that old tv show “LOST” where everyone is trapped on an island, living in a simulation and being brainwashed, and nobody can figure out what the heck is going on. Reminds me of the film out at the moment called “Don’t Worry Darling,” too.
All of this tech fakery is bad for your mental health and will create a level of envy that can destroy your life.
The dream life they want you to believe
Big tech has had an awesome last decade.
With record valuations and easy money flowing since the 2008 recession, there’s plenty of cash to burn.
During this era profits didn’t matter.
If you could sell a good hype story, kick the revenue can down the road, and become the cleanest dirty shirt in the big tech laundry, as a founder/CEO, you could shower your employees in perks.
