What a terribly written article. I do not understand at all why you wouldn't start out by saying that you worked in Brazil for Google, instead the reader has to discover that half way in, suggesting you were in Phoenix was a really nice move to make sure that essential detail was hard to extract. There was "tea" promised but the story is literally "I was an obvious nuisance because I was the only one who believed corporate propaganda and got fired for it", how absolutely uninteresting and I do not understand why it would take this amount of space to write down.
- monooso 1y agoI experienced no such confusion.
- arolihas 1y agoDidn't even get fired for it, they were laid off because of 2008!
- constantcrying 1y agoYes, although being on the "annoyed me" list of the boss likely played part in whom to fire.
- arolihas 1y agoThey shut down the boss's office in Arizona too
- rdlw 1y agoIt does start out by saying they worked in Brazil for Google. > The fact that Google fired me... Normally you have to work somewhere to get fired. I suppose that's an assumption I made upon reading that part. > let us go back in time and space, and journey to tropical Brazil in the distant time of 2007… This article is set in Brazil, in 2007. Did you skip the introduction and then complain about the lack of an introduction?
- blindriver 1y agoI feel exactly the same as you. The entire thing is horribly written and feels like they think were victimized when I can't see where they were.
- breppp 1y agoThis kind of literary genre is popular these days and it always ends with being surprised that actions have consequences
- throwaway0123_5 1y agoFrom the second paragraph before any mention of Phoenix or Arizona: > let us go back in time and space, and journey to tropical Brazil in the distant time of 2007
