Everytime I talk to someone working at a big tech, I am thankful I am not working for them.
The last one described a culture of constant backstabbing that gave me nightmares for the next 2 days.

It's every narcissists dream come true
The real Woke
I recently learned stupid people think they're smart when they break the rules/norms/values by default, because they can find a solution outside of the set restrictions. (I truly hope that's not their interpretation of out-of-the-box thinking.) This apparently reached a point where you're dumb if you find the better solution within the restrictions. And they apparently assume a zero-sum game, which it isn't.
Someone literally could've shown them a more collaborative, beneficial environment and they got rid of him in favor of (almost) literal scum.
not all are this way, but many
Value for value is the way. No Agenda podcast has survived on this for over 17 years. nostr:nprofile1qqsgs0l2fsr3lkjyqmftv6lzrjc7mt6950s9spgdvgq7euwnt94mcwgprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qy08wue69uhhw6tvd3jk6tnrw4e8y7trv9ekstnwv46r5dpcxsuqz9nhwden5te0v96xcctn9ehx7um5wghxcctwvspktsq2 and John Dvorak only did value for value because they didn't want to have advertiser meetings.
Maybe you can start an Amethyst producer club.
Listen to an episode of No Agenda and hear how the the show gets funded.
https://www.noagendashow.net/listen/1760
You might even do a peerage level as No Agenda.
$1000 USD, CAN, AUS makes you a knight!
Here is the donate page: https://www.noagendadonations.com/
Also you can do a newsletter and get subscriptions. John C. Dvorak does the newsletter before every show. John used to write for PC Magazine for 30 years so he gets people's attention.
You can also request volunteers too. All NO AGENDA artwork is volunteered and is done by professionals! Even the streaming backbone and websites are volunteered.
As a matter of fact send a donation for a producer and give the amethyst URL and pitch NOSTR. They will read it and Adam Curry who is a Bitcoin pleb and NOSTR user will say more.
Send me a DM if you need help.
Keep up the good work. We love you.
When I was at a very large tech company, the mentality was:
“my rivals are not in FAANG, they are down the hall in the next office and I am going to fucking bury them”
They just haven't implemented properly the concept of a big tech
sounds about right
