No one blinked when Elon Musk cut X’s (formerly Twitter) workforce by roughly 80%, largely because the business had been egregiously overstaffed and poorly managed under Jack Dorsey but now, as Dorsey turns around and cuts 40% of Block’s workforce after years of similar mismanagement, the narrative suddenly shifts to “AI doom” rather than accountability
there was a time when I was a new grad and would’ve gladly taken lower wages and lived with roommates just for the opportunity to be a striver in a great company in a big city. new grads WILL work for low wages!! they just want any job at all at this point.
@ThePrimeagen@RLeRoux64 personally this is why I stopped going to Twitch. I used to prefer it for streams, but the amount of ads got too crazy. Plus I started paying for youtube premium, so I might as well take advantage of it.
@youngtroon Funny enough I think Abundance directly addresses this. Haven’t read it, but I’ve listened to Ezra talk about liberal policies have created a bureaucracy that impedes building real things. The cultural shift for liberals to understand that feels insurmountable
