Fuck Salesforce, I wish they’d go out of business.

It's really unfortunate how naive we (us in tech) still are about the employer-employee relationship and how much leverage we got. The talent/merotocracy propaganda we've been showered with since The Great Recession can't wear off soon enough. Labour organizing in Big Tech can really grind the machine to a halt, given its dependence.

You're not wrong. I just think we may be a bit higher on our own farts than other fields, due to the chronic labour shortage in the 2010s.

We all have our own blinkers on. But maybe my field of vision is a little to the left or right of yours. I'm not always this clear-minded, especially after dinner and stressing over my own petty struggles. The sun shone today in a way that made me notice, is all.

Yep, he looks exactly what I've imagined: a pompous cooked ham that's left for too long in the sun.
