This CEO prolly thinks he's generous cos he ain't firing them (yet) lol. So the peasant employees should be grateful for having still a job in the first place lol

[–] Newsteinleo@infosec.pub 5 points 5 hours ago

They did four round of layoffs last year

[–] Smaile@lemmy.ca 24 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

just quit on mass and save yourselves the time, it'll likely collapse the company as an added bonus

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 25 points 15 hours ago (5 children)

The expression is "en masse". It's French for "in great quantity".

[–] HrabiaVulpes@europe.pub 7 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Americans can't do anything en masse.

[–] bridgeburner@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Thy can, when it comes to their body weight lol

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 6 hours ago

That's more en massif

[–] Bluescluestoothpaste@sh.itjust.works -1 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

On mass is literally en masse in English . . .

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

It literally isn't. Literally, "on" doesn't translate to "en", as it literally means "in". Literally, the "masse" in French here doesn't refer to literal "mass" as in a quantity of literal matter to be literally measured, but literally an uncountable concept like a literal crowd, for example.

So, which mass are you quitting on?

And in any case, to be literally correct the expression taken from another literal language should be literally italicized.

En means like eight different things in french depending on context, so does on in english. Mass also means large numbers of people.

Everyone knew exactly what he meant because it's pretty much a word for word translation of the french expression...

But sure man, it's really important everyone knows you know the original french expression.

I just want to publicly state that we're substantially past the "2 weeks notice" era... just.. FYI for any folks that had not figured that out yet.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 7 hours ago

Why the fuck should anyone feel compelled to give two weeks to a company that would never extend the same courtesy

[–] Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 24 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Sweet. Time to stop giving a shit about work, and just shit at work. (Prepositions are amazing!)

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 9 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

A day without taking a shit at work is money in your boss's pocket.

[–] lando55@lemmy.zip 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Boss makes a dollar I make a dime That's why fuck AI

[–] P1nkman@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 13 points 23 hours ago

it must be entirely coincidental that employee performance dropped by 10% across the board

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

How this doesn't result in a class action lawsuit is beyond me.

Spineless cowards contributing to the death of the U.S. .

[–] heartSagan5@lemmy.zip 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Because any money won is split amongst the members of the class action. So, the larger is literally pennies for the aggrieved, unless it’s literally $5 per member. Is that really motivating? $5 is a joke, what’s the value that’s worth a squeeze? $100?

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

I don't think the payout is as important as taking money away from tech giants is. It isn't an efficient usage of the money, of course that money could be spent to greater effect than just splitting it up piecemeal. Yes, it likely is a pittance compared to what billionaires are worth. However if literally everyone struck these people at the same time, class action lawsuits being brought against all tech giants alongside general strikes — suddenly they're hemorrhaging money outside of the lawsuits and their technofascist bubble pops.

Certainly naive to believe — as I've said the people I'm talking about are mostly spineless cowards that are contributing directly to fascism. I have no misgivings about whether what I want to happen will happen or not.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 6 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (2 children)

Class action lawsuits don't mean anything in the US ngl. Companies just change their name to something unfamiliar.

[–] KeenFlame@feddit.nu 1 points 15 hours ago

Why even have a legal system only for companies to battle their lawyers at a game of taking things from us? Why not just put hypercapitalism even more and allow them to buy politicians and laws? Or wait

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 5 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Class action lawsuits + general strikes? I'm pretty sure that would mean a hell of a lot, especially to the people drowning in despair due to... the 'everything' situation.

[–] Smaile@lemmy.ca 4 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

cool wake me up to when they actaully do that.

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Not the point of the thread Canadian, you'll notice my initial comment calls them spineless cowards.

[–] Smaile@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

You misunderstand, I don't believe it will actually happen. Your country has proven its unwillingness to stand up to or stop your current crop of leadership, I simply don't believe it'll happen.

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yep that's basically what they said at my job too.

[–] Quexotic@infosec.pub 4 points 19 hours ago

Can you name and shame them without doxing yourself?

[–] badgermurphy@lemmy.world 7 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

I wish everyone treated this way the best of luck finding better employment as soon as possible, as everyone deserves better than this dehumanizing treatment.

I hope you can look down from your nice new offices very soon and smirk as you watch their AI investments flounder and fail in spectacular fashion, having known all along it would happen, just not exactly when.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago

None of you are getting bonuses this year because we're heavily investing into replacing all of you
