I got poached from a job once to a) punish a manager in a different department, and to b) serve as a check on someone else who the new manager didn't trust. People can just use you and discard you. Our industry is awful right now. I&#x

One doesn't get paid $300k/year to fuck around and choose what you work on yourself. Very often you will get punished for making management decisions above your pay grade at this level.

You are narrating my life back to me right now, and it's creepy and weird. I'm sorry that you've experienced this horrible treadmill of despair, as well. It doesn't get better.

I've seen it before. After that manager stepped in to help me, I would've stepped in front of a bus for him. That is the one time I had a manager like that in my entire career. It's rare, but it does happen.

You're making the mistake of assuming that 100% of the unpaid work performed by a few niche subreddits converts to equivalent wages on the free labour market. Is anyone going to pay first-world wages for someone to moderate a subreddit

It's still like this. Women and minorities get targeted by this sort of stuff all the time.

Reddit has seriously improved their mod tools in recent years. I really don't understand these complaints. I'm not a sock puppet, I just don't see the validity in saying over and over that the mod tools are bad, when they are

Reddit came down hard on threatening mods the other year. Did you forget, or are you omitting that on purpose to strengthen your argument? If you're a mod, and get threatened, ban the user. It's simple. Move on with your life. 90%

Reddit has never respected its users. Spez's continued user-hostile antics over the years show that this is the case very clearly.

For me, I'm pretty sure it came from childhood trauma. Perhaps there's a biological component, as well -- my mother has extreme memory traits/talents too, but hers are not applicable to personal autobiographical memories. She

It doesn't really work that way. For instance, if you're discussing something with your boss, and you have perfect recall about what was discussed 6+ months ago, but your boss disagrees with you, they will just use their version o

Not really. Usenet was circling the drain a long time before Reddit was a gleam in Ohanian's eye.

A hit dog hollers, that's for sure. You likely pissed off an admin who was heavily leveraged in the crypto markets, or actively scamming users. Seems like reddit's old reputation of being capricious and spiteful is still apt. Char

People don't. A company wanted a new market, so they made one and convinced enough people that they do in fact want this superior brushing technology. Ooooh, so shiny.

Television programs warning about global warming were already on reruns when I was a little kid in the 70s and 80s. Nothing has been being done for a loooooooong time.
