Yeah it's an awful place to work unless you're a far-right bro. My old director used to use slurs and vape in the office. The founder hires pro gamers with no technical expertise because he thinks they're cool.
- derwiki 2mo agoAre you implying that vaping is far right?
- kennywinker 2mo agoI think that was part of the “bro” bit, not the far right bit
- nozzlegear 2mo agoSounded to me like they were saying people vape in the office, which would make a bad work environment on top of the far right bros.
- hamdingers 2mo ago> people vape in the office It's famously a fully remote company.
- kennywinker 2mo agoDo you think that means they don’t have offices?
- nozzlegear 2mo agoShopify has employee "ports" (company jargon for employee workspaces/offices) in Toronto, Ottawa and New York.
- chucksmash 2mo agoDon't get shy now. Which slurs?
- KingMob 2mo agoWhy are you trying to get someone to repeat slurs?
- chucksmash 2mo agoBecause "slurs" is vague and covers a wide variety of utterances that run the gamut from unprofessional to unemployable and I had a tingle of Spidey sense that OP might have chosen the vague phrasing specifically to inflate the sins of the nameless Shopify director in the mind of the reader.
- kennywinker 2mo agoWhich slurs are ok, and which aren't?
- chucksmash 2mo agoGreat question. It's a vague term and a moving target that not everyone agrees on. For instance, retarded is now considered a slur. If OP is saying "my director said the R word," then I would question whether OP spared the gory details out of concern for polite company or if they're being oblique in service of their point. And if managers at Shopify are dropping N-bombs, I want to know that too.
- KingMob 2mo agoI... guess that's possible? Summarization doesn't really seem suspicious to me.
- hdndjsbbs 2mo agoLet's say some racial ones (including hard-r n-word) and some ableist ones? Guy also talked about jerking off a lot and joked about rape.
