I see multiple replies along similar lines, attacking a poster for an experience with a single person making them cautious of a particular group.

These replies seem to forget that a single person can destroy your career, livelihood and relationships because they have misunderstood an interaction

Yeah but sometimes you want to reach out and bomb someone without the knowing what's coming

Sounds like they need a union

That's par for the course for technically orientated roles. I was labelled 'defensive' and denied a pay increase because a business development executive wanted to make our documentation dynamic based on user access, and I pointed out it was difficult to find a solution when users can have over 400 access permissions, which varied depending on country, and our documentation was 900 HTML pages, some of which were equavlent to 200 A4 pages.

If you are the most knowledgeable person then you get blamed for their bullshit fantasies being impossible or unwise (or illegal)

I too welcome the Google overlords deciding what functionality must be included in chat software owned by another company.

What's next, banning European apps that allow people to sell cheese that is illegal in USA?

So a company known for ridiculous mark-ups on memory and storage upgrades is now judge and jury of how other companies price things?

They blocked the damn fire service pages... during bushfire season. I hope there is some law that is breaking so they can tear Facebook a new one, it's massively irresponsible and outright dangerous

This applies to everything though. If I drill of oil and am 'too successful' and abuse my position the Gov cracks down on me. Same if a telco is 'too successful'

And you are forgetting that 'too successful' in these cases is: literally has billions in profit uses market position in an anti competitive way

Yeah but then 70% of the results are wrong. Amazon's filtering sucks

Pykrete floats.

Not eating memory like it's candy for starters.

Google is just as hard to get in. Transferring from Gmail into gsuite took over 3 weeks for a single account

I make way more in my unionised engineering role than I did previously working at a multinational software firm, and more importantly when I have problems with the company I have access to support and legal advice. Making bank working on software is great until the company starts to stuff you around, or some executive takes a dislike to you
