> when you have these people posting 'day in the life of twitter' 'day in the life as a google yelp elitist', etc. Where it seems like majority of the day is spent pampering oneself than actually working
I've been seeing this comment a lot in the last year as the TikTok tech-worker influencers started making waves, and I've struggled to understand it.
There are even videos where non-monetary perks aren't shown, it's just the tech worker in their nice apartment using nice things they buy, and people still lose their minds thinking "this person doesn't work". Do you need to see an 8 hour long video of them at their desk? Their commutes, too?
I think we're still in the transition period where there's enormous groups of people who don't understand how social media works. Reminds me of that apocryphal story of the theater audience screaming in terror when they saw a train moving towards the camera.
- philliphaydon 4y agoI haven’t seen any of their apartments. I’ve only seen the ones at the office. The tiktok girl about Twitter and she spent most of the morning being lazy then having a meeting in a pod then being lazy. The other was a Google girl who was part of the layoffs and she posted about going into the office and having breakfast and then going to these rooms to listen to music etc. And so I wonder what these people’s roles actually are?!?
