喜欢听卧龙吟，好喜欢听三国诸葛亮那句为图将军之志，亮愿效犬马之劳

@JIo7ow3CtCjIYGb 那个视频我也看了，印象中只有炎亚纶特别不正常，汪东城是gay的话我还真是没注意到😂

@LeonidasKessler 晚上准备睡觉看到你这个评论把我都给笑精神了

[杏之香 @pansyyyer]

@LeonidasKessler 喜大普奔，众多中国网友这次对中国电影寒潮都挺高兴的，平时被这些所谓名导演和演员他们喂屎喂多了，现在他们这样大家都挺爽的。

[杏之香 @pansyyyer]

@LeonidasKessler 作者已经成了饭圈，有的读者还对作者现实开盒，把人家的信息都给扒出来网爆。想想都是蛮可怕，身为作者一定要保护好自己呀。

[杏之香 @pansyyyer]

@LeonidasKessler 这个很有可能，我之前在晋江追一些文，作者也会被举报，某些阴暗的人在小说创作界也搞恶心的权谋了。不过没想到小众黄文也搞这些。

[杏之香 @pansyyyer]

@LeonidasKessler 说明做你的书有热度😂

[杏之香 @pansyyyer]

@LeonidasKessler 😂从我认识你就在进行中，这都好几年过去了，不过对于读者来说没弃更就很不错了。

[杏之香 @pansyyyer]

@LeonidasKessler 你正好高中经历完这些就去了，我差不多刚上高中这些没了，比你少享受三年😂然后我高中就只好热爱上逛天涯和贴吧了。

有时候会强烈地怀念过往，那逝去的一切，自己就好像还停留在十几二十年前，以前上学的奶茶店，学校旁边的文具用品店和书店，还记得喜欢去书店看五元一本或者十元一本的短篇小说杂志，或者跑去租书，一本一天是一块钱还是五毛钱不记得了。
还喜欢给自己挑漂亮的文具，自己的笔都是精心挑选的。

[杏之香 @pansyyyer]

@LeonidasKessler 一样一样的经历者，后知后觉感觉自己好像失去了什么，以前走街串巷能发现些有意思的小店，现在都同质化好严重。

[杏之香 @pansyyyer]

@LeonidasKessler 😂天天刷到海外华人说远离华人远离华人，从来没听过华人团结，配合现在全球右翼化，美国华人搞不好要拿来祭旗。

[杏之香 @pansyyyer]

美国海外华人这是准备开始被排了？开始搞舆论战了吧，美国华人有这么团结的话都能刷新我的认知了。

At Meta, 90% of my coworkers were Chinese, and non-Chinese were routinely excluded, disadvantaged, and targeted for layoffs. 6 out of the 7 layoffs I observed targeted non-Chinese despite non-Chinese being the vast minority. Certain orgs like ads and MRS are notorious for being Chinese dominated. I think Americans would be outraged if they knew that their own citizens were getting marginalized and laid off at their own companies, while Chinese promote themselves up, conquer entire orgs, and reap millions.

Imagine if Huawei in Shenzhen had entire orgs and leadership chains completely dominated by Japanese people who brazenly spoke Japanese at work without a care in the world that their Chinese coworkers don't understand, imposed their own work culture without respecting Chinese culture, excluded the Chinese, and laid off Chinese people while promoting their own. I imagine Chinese citizens would be outraged, and never allow that to happen in the first place.

The most blatant and obvious way that non-Chinese are excluded is that Chinese primarily speak Mandarin at work. I'm not talking about one-off conversations, I'm talking about every single conversation. Loudly and brazenly with no respect for others. 10+ teammates and leaders having a group conversation in Mandarin while the 2 non-Chinese don't understand and feel excluded from the team. Although everyone at least has the decency to speak English during formal meetings with a non-speaker present, it was common that right after the meeting ended everyone would immediately switch to Mandarin.

Funny I'm in Korea right now and was just on a double date with 3 other Koreans, and I was shocked that when the conversation would split into two, the other couple would speak to each other in English in my presence just out of respect. A Korean couple on a double-date had the courtesy to speak to each other in English in front of me even though I'd never expect that from them, but my Chinese coworkers did not.

Lunch was another place where non-Chinese were blatantly excluded. Recall that the team I joined was an all Chinese team with only one other non-Chinese person. The Chinese would always get lunch together and never invite us (except for one of them who occasionally would, though at some point stopped). Me and the non-Chinese person would invite them, they'd always refuse, and then shortly after they'd disappear and get lunch together. As a result, it was usually just the two of us getting lunch. (caveat, some of the newer Chinese who joined afterwards also experienced similar treatment. So it's moreso a clique thing than a Chinese vs. non-Chinese thing, though 100% of the clique was Chinese)

On Wednesdays and Fridays I'd often be the only non-Chinese person on my team in the office, and they'd all get lunch together without inviting me. It was depressing, and made me not want to come into the office on those days.

One team dinner we went to a Korean BBQ. I arrived with a non-Chinese coworker and the first table was full, so we sat at one end of the next empty table. Shortly after one of the Tech Leads walked in, and sat at the complete opposite end of our table, alone and not in talking distance to anyone. We invited her over, and she declined. Later another Tech Lead came in and sat across from her. Non-Chinese and Chinese at opposite ends of a long table at a team dinner, and they refused to sit with us. Eventually more people came and the TLs joined our side because I guess maybe it was too obviously anti-social, and they spent the entire dinner speaking speaking Chinese to each other. These were our tech leads.

I could not understand how Meta could have "Tech Leads" that so blatantly excluded teammates. I thought Tech Leads were supposed to uplift the team, and that Meta would hold tech leads to a higher standard.

Now someone might say that it's just lunch or a one-off team dinner, who cares? To that I vehemently disagree. Lunch is extremely important for team bonding, and so much information is transferred through informal socializing. I'm not saying that everyone needs to get lunch together everyday, but if a minority of people are excluded from getting lunch with the rest of the team, and especially the most tenured and senior employees, then naturally that minority is going to feel alienated, disadvantaged, and excluded from opportunities. And the very fact that they're excluded from lunch is reflective of being excluded in general.

When 90% of an org and the entire leadership chain is dominated by one ethnicity, naturally their work culture is going to spill through. Chinese culture is completely different from American work culture, and learning to navigate that was a huge obstacle for me. For example I'm the type that tends to question everything and isn't afraid to challenge a "superior", but I quickly realized that my TL seemed to take offense to that, and would punish/retaliate me for it.

I want to make it clear - I have nothing against Chinese people. Most of them are very kind (strong correlation between kindness and not engaging in the kind of exclusionary behavior I mentioned above), and I have many good friends who are Chinese. I get that some barely speak English (though I question how they got hired). I do genuinely believe that most are good people, and not deliberately trying to exclude others. But regardless of intent, the result is that non-Chinese get excluded. The fact that 6 of the 7 layoffs I observed were not Chinese in a 80-90% Chinese dominated org is testament to this. The fact that 90% Chinese dominated orgs even exist in the first place is testament to this.

I might not even be posting about this given the sensitivity of the topic if not for the fact that I've seen and/or heard stories of some very toxic people who I do not believe would otherwise survive if not for their ability to exclude others, throwing others under the bus for the next layoff. The same people do this over and over again, and get away with it because they're part of the "clique" that essentially has immunity.

I think the company needs to take this more seriously. Some ideas would be enforcing English at the office (I've heard of other teams that do this), raising leaders to a higher bar when it comes to team inclusivity (eg. under the "People" axis), investigating potential discrimination cases (eg. layoffs and/or mistreatment disproportionally affecting certain groups) and having a zero tolerance policy around that, having a zero tolerance policy around injustice in general (eg. lying or deliberately throwing somebody under the bus), ensuring more diverse teams, etc.

But to be honest, I don't have faith that much would change so long as the entire leadership chain up to the VP level is dominated by the same ethnicity, language, and culture. Nor does it seem that leadership even remotely cares given that this has been happening in the HQ for probably at least the last decade, and is obvious to anyone who's stepped foot in the office.

😂到底是谁递过去的。

[酱紫表 @pengchujin]

哈哈哈哈哈😂

[杏之香 @pansyyyer]

@JIo7ow3CtCjIYGb 可能吧。不知道他们看的内容和我们的有啥差别😂

[杏之香 @pansyyyer]

完全不是很懂为什么会有那么多国家的人跑来用小红书，基本上都是中国人中文平台他们不会觉得没什么意思和文化隔阂吗？我上推也只是想瞎逼逼说话和看点世界时政新闻，他们看小红书是为了什么啊。

[杏之香 @pansyyyer]

@LeonidasKessler 没错。逼作者去标什么1V1 双处或者非处之类的，不然就会被连续留言爆冲。有时候我看电影小说就是喜欢看展现人性的一些东西。不小心点开弹幕就会看到有些人说什么这三观不正然后开始逼逼。说实话我只在乎故事讲的好不好。有些读者还那么年轻整得自己被样板戏余毒没清一样。真的有些怀念十几年前的网络了

[杏之香 @pansyyyer]

@LeonidasKessler 反正我不爱看就点X就是，不是很懂有些人一直锲而不舍攻击是为什么。
