Laid-off Google employees turn to Discord server with 18,000 members for support
- hypothesis 4y agoI feel like it was a missed opportunity for BigCo to showcase their in-house AI by providing chat support for said laid off people.
- mulligan 4y agothis would be the headline: "callous tech company lays off tech company then trials unvetted chat bots on them" along with all the examples of it giving awful advice
- shiroyacha 4y agoI think it's worse than just fire by email lol
- KennyBlanken 4y agoFrom what I've heard, many tech companies are slashing perks and benefits. Was this discord server made available to all the chefs and masseuses and personal trainers and cleaners and van drivers that are losing their jobs, after living in RVs and vans near the campus?
- crmrc114 4y agoPretty disappointed it's not signal or Mastodon or literally anything other than Discord.
- water-your-self 4y agoWhy would google employees know how to use mastodon?
- matt-attack 4y agoCurious why?
- Shakahs 4y agoThere is some irony in this as Discord runs on Google Cloud.
