I was laid off this week. Non-performance based. They fired my whole team. I was the last one. I thought I was safe. But they must be planning to shutter soon. Green Tech is getting its ass kicked in by Trump and crew. Fuck’em.

Thank you! I already have a job I interviewed with and it looks like I have a good chance at landing it. Greatly appreciate your thoughtfulness.

Is there a Lemmy equivalent of R/sysadmin? Trying to stay away from reddit.

I am speaking with one of our competitors that has my job listed. That I actually interviewed with a year ago for the same position. So I hope I can land it this time since I don’t have a job anymore.

He looks like a fucking insane creep devastated by krokodile. The day he’s gonna die, I’m gonna sleep like a baby with double pillows. “Oh no!” 😴😴

Can’t wait to see Mullenweg’s next feat of mental gymnastics about how this was also caused by WP Engine

I think someone should simply fork Wordpress to WorkPrint and continue without this clown.

Yeah. I run Wordpress on my personal blog, but after this I won’t use it for future projects. A community fork without all that stupid Jetpack shit would be great

He’ll probably claim they’d have doubled their staff by now if it weren’t for them.
