Brilliantly explained.
Too few people have the humility to look like a loser, and would rather work a bad job instead.
To add on the condescending tone of fox news, the whole hypocrisy of the backlash was quite surprising to me. To me it really felt like it was an attempt to shut down the sub by elaborate astro turfing (the mods did say there was a lot of new accounts brigading).
I felt a lot of empathy for Doreen, and how she was mocked on air. The fact that a whole community disliked her because she was a dog walker or did not look presentable was so ridiculous to me.
I think she handled it pretty well, she did not get angry, she did not care about the tone of that tv guy.
The subreddit is still there. Nothing really happened. There are still people renegotiating their salary and quitting their jobs.
- jackling 5y agoIt's shocking to me how people just made fun of her for everything possible. IMO she explained her position well, and didn't say anything outrageous. The "laziness is a virtue" line specifically seems to be something that people point out as a terrible take, but with full context it's easy to see that she's just promoting more rest and healthier conditions. It's ironic to me how a subreddit that advocates for less toxic workplaces, can foster such a toxic environment. I completely agree with your take.
- qnsi 5y agoexactly. I heard about this interview before, hearing it was disastrous. I read this article and just then watched the interview. I thought she explained things pretty well. She was mocked for being dog walker, but why? Why is news presenter inherently better than dog walker? I guess net effect for society is better from dog walking than news. That the community got angry at her is beyond me, and I was very sceptical of antiwork subreddit
