Dear Sheep, you should relax. The slaughtering of your brethren has ended. There will be no more slaughtering this quarter. So you have nothing to worry about. Just relax, tension ruins the meat.

This article is pretty bad, even as sensational articles go. Scheduling an AI Hackathon isn't really the same as ordering people to have fun, plus they calceled it after a bunch of people said they couldn't participate.

Depends on internal messaging. I've been at places where all the non-techie people are cheerleading for the "hackathon" - and then start doing nearly everything possible to make what is already a kind of "forced fun" activity very, very, very unfun.

Like dictating all the terms, expected outcomes, what is in-bounds to work on (often just chosen tech debt items, lol) and then, making it a fucking contest on top of that.

But everyone is expected to plaster on big, shit-eating grins and have "fun" because we were "allowed" to "hack" on "fun" projects.

I agree with that, having access to that internal messaging would add weight and validity to this story. I'm just upset because I like collecting more reasons to clown on Zuck and Meta but this isnt't substantive enough. Some places do make hackathons shitty, I haven't looked forward to one since college.
