In giant companies, there’s a lot of wasted time and money.
Comment on Microsoft fires employees who organized vigil for Palestinians killed in Gaza

How do people have the time to organise vigils and get into “coalitions” and politics in the workplace?
Granted I don’t work at Microsoft, but I feel me and everyone around me is overworked enough that when we have the time to stop working… We head home (or close the laptop if WFH) and rest, not engage in additional activities in the workplace.

IDK about you but half of the time I’m at work I’m not actually working. I have like 4 hours of insane productivity, but don’t know which 4 hours those will be.

For every hour of work/coding I do, there is probably 4 to 5 hours of waiting for shit to automatically compile, fetch, build, release, apply, get reviewed, approved, and deployed. The downtime is immense, I spend it helping other people with shit or planning company potlucks (I don’t work for Microsoft).
