Every day on blind I see people complaining about how the company they work at is the worst place ever. I think I have seen posts about almost every tech company.

Reasons:
PIP
Bad pay
Toxic culture
Bad manager/teammates
WLB issues

  • Avoid social justice companies (healthcare, education) horrible pay

    Edit…seems like my point was missed. Beware any recruiter with “mission driven” as a reason to join. That means expect a lowball offer.

      I don't believe you. You're feeding from the alt right playbook by throwing around the word authoritarianism knowing damn well that the word is reserved for the opposite of what you're associating it with. What have you done that you're so afraid of being persecuted by people who are trying to make a more inclusive and equitable world for all? You do know that you're included as part of that all, don't you? Someone who truly believes in liberal systems knows that there are communal benefits to these type of social policies, but your position is based on a belief of individualism and it shows your true colors.

    • This is exactly what I mean - your reasoning is entirely circular. “Authoritarianism” can only apply (“reserved for”) the “other” “bad” group in your mind - you won’t even allow the possibility that the concept of that word _can_ apply to things supposedly done in the name of equity but actually done in the name of grabbing political power and control. As for whether you believe me, I could not give a shit. I am very far left liberal, what would I possibly have to gain by saying otherwise? It’s mind blowing that you are so far gone with this stuff that you _define_ anything that disagrees with aspects of it as therefore being right wing just by disagreeing, yet you can’t admit that is practically the most authoritarian view you could take.

    Why are you looking at this 👀

    Blind has strong bias towards negative/unhappy people and happy people are out there living their life usually. It’s usually always a “grass is greener” type of situation.

      Agree completely Amazon. I deleted Blind recently and I was much happier without it. It is great for when you are looking for a job, but other than that it kinda sucks and the constant negativity here really started to affect my mental health.

      I only reinstalled it for help finding a team within Meta, but will probably delete it after that.

      I’ve debated uninstalling for awhile lol. I thought I could stop looking but it’s like a train wreck. And it makes me think I’m on the verge of getting fired all the time
