Swear some act like they’re now a war veteran with accolades
Wow. It's so unhealthy to care this much about a fucking job that will never love you back. If I'm laid off, I wouldn't give a flying fuck about a fucking oncall. Not my problem anymore.
So you’re unwilling to help your coworkers (just a little bit) and have them clean up your mess? I get it, f-Google but f- your coworkers too?!
I'm not trying to fuck anyone. If I'm laid off, I stop doing any work for the company whatsoever. The company is to blame for my coworkers getting fucked. My first thoughts will be with my family and how I can take care of them. My coworkers are not as important as my family. Not even close.
I don’t understand the reaction to continue doing work for the company after you’ve been let go. I’m not sure if it’s just cringe or actually inappropriate to message people at a company you don’t work at anymore about what they should be doing.
Think about it logically. The company will be fine if you just ditch the pager and ride off into the night. The engineers who have to clean up the mess you left will remember. Tech is a small world. You never know when you’ll run into your old colleagues again. By sending a page he bought himself a good rep. Worse case, prod crashes and he’s hatefully remembered. Best case, nothing happens and he gets a cool story out of it. Not saying his motives were this cynical, but it’s low risk high reward. So why not?
The fact that you imply that the engineers who have to clean up the mess would harbor negative feelings towards the one who left vs the company that made the decision to fire him is the problem here. This is what corporate culture does so well. Pit employees against each other
Totally agree with only3sums. Why would there be ANY negative thoughts toward someone who isn’t being paid for their work? If anything the remaining engineers should understand and be empathetic that this individual has bigger problems now then the job they’re still at. No one knows what issues and challenges the laid off person has to go thru now without a job. Under no circumstance should that person be expected of anything aside from taking care of himself and family. Absurdity.
Great ownership, customer obsession and bias for action! We need such person at Amazon.
If you’ve built something great, even if for someone else, I personally can see the desire which could still exist to maintain that product even after you’re no longer paid to do so.
Totally.. becomes your baby..
Yeah. Many of them actually prioritized their work over their actual babies/toddlers.

Company showed that they literally don't care about you and this person is still on that koolaid.
Am I the only one whom thinks that what this person did is just the most subtle 🖕to Google ever and not the way around?! Think about it!

Israel prevents Palestinians from gathering rainwater? Seems wrong on so many levels to me
Just sad that these people actually care after they've been laid off. It's such a cult. The things people do for kool-aid. If you lay me off and I'm the on-call for a critical system that breaks, it's literally not my problem anymore. I'm taking a trip to the Bahamas, toodles!
It’s Stockholm syndrome- you spend so much of your time doing X at Y corporation it’s all you know.
For real, I would drop whatever I was doing immediately if laid off. If I was in the middle of a call with a client I would hang up right then and there with no explanation. If I’m not getting paid for it then it’s not my problem.
