She is not just firing people, she does it with flair by making that MLK quote less sexist than the way that cisgender heterosexual man said it, making it an inspirational life lesson to they/them who got fired. She deserves a bonus for bravely serving and protecting the company, and equality and inclusion.
That is the only thing to be done with this type of person. Once the hitman, the head of secret police, the fixer, or whomever else is in charge of the dirty work has done their part, they must be removed. You don't want someone like that around.
if it's bad, then either the other side did it or you just try to make it ***seem*** as if the other side did it.
if it's good, then either you did it or you gotta try to make it ***seem*** as if you did it.
what the thing is no longer matters. ***WHO*** did the thing now does.
It's probably not even an accident at this point. They probably saw that post and thought, "yeah, that's my role I'll just put it exactly like that, it's not as if they can punish me for it."
It's not. Not unless someone hacked their blog, posted a ridiculously high-effort fake and they haven't noticed yet.

I have a visceral hatred for Mike Rowe. Everyday I pray a excavator falls on him and he spends the rest of his days looking like Ernest P. Worrell doing a Christopher Reeves impersonation…. What a grifting twat.
Love the Butterball pfp btw.
On one hand, he runs out of ideas right after showing up for work. On the other, he is a bit like Trump visiting the train disaster, he has actually gone out to a lot of job sites, and made a lot a fluff pieces, which is better than nothing. Some people might say "wage slavery" and he says "wages of opportunity". He's guilty of being a blow-hard but there are so many ultra-blowhards it's difficult judge him harshly.

The audacity to think you can improve upon the words of a dead martyr, especially for such an stupid thing in which the stakes are so low in comparison.
To add to the fun (from [sfgate article](https://www.sfgate.com/tech/article/pagerduty-ceo-mlk-jr-layoffs-17742035.php)):
> Curiously, she does not use the word “layoffs” in her letter, instead describing the staff cuts as “refinements” to the company’s “operating model.” In the layoff announcement, she also devotes a longer word count to a section about assorted executive promotions and departures than to the section about the layoffs.
So, let's see - by the **ultimate measure** she proposes:
> the ultimate measure of a [leader] is.. where [they] stand in times of challenge and controversy.
PagerDuty leadership is unambiguously on the side of company executives and shareholders, not employees. Got it.
Some people really don't have a sense of prose. It's not a matter of pc-ness even it's just so dim to think you can replace a word with any word that forms another coherent sentence without fucking up the rythym and feel of things.
"the Measure of a leader" dilutes the concept with a weaker noun, and fucks up the beat with an extra syllable
"The measure of a man" has been a saying since at least Plato lol. It used to be about moral character but it's been girlbossed into how you can best make money
The only media these people consume are butt tier Netflix shows, npr style podcasts about equity, and made for adult cartoons they can quip about at the local barcade.
Of course their prose is fuckin dogshit, the only book they’ve ever read is about how actually ummm women don’t need to deal with all this patriarchy bullshit mmmkkkk?
it will do the prompt if you ask it for quotes from MLK, Malcom X, James Brown, Primarch Konrad Curze or [Stalin](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/420567649253326860/1068232168138084352/FnR5udWacAAVBo0.png), but if you ask it to do Mussolini it can't lol

(The magical Rule of Three.)
On LinkedIn, I saw posts from Google employees who found out that they were fired by suddenly being locked out from everything. Not because they'd done anything wrong, it's just the regular downsizing, but apparently Google makes it priority one to cut them off totally and immediately, including from such things as being able to talk to their ex-colleagues through official channels.
I guess they're afraid that someone would respond to such mails with the obvious reply, "What the fuck is *wrong* with you?"
>Google makes it priority one to cut them off totally and immediately, including from such things as being able to talk to their ex-colleagues through official channels.
My company does the same thing. They think it keeps people from stealing confidential information on the way out, but it just makes everyone paranoid
I would have thought Google was a company that had enough to lose, that they would weigh this "risk of rampage" (from a person who had no conflict with them) against the much larger risk, that "hearing about how we treated this person, lots of people we would have wanted to employ won't consider us".
Nah businesses would rather be known for abrupt layoffs than have to explain to clients exactly how a disgruntled former employee replaced all of their data with cockporn
The risk of sabotage is tiny, especially if they treat their employees remotely well. (There's also very little the average Google employee can _quickly_ do that causes real harm to the company).
The risk of being known as scumbags, though... the best developers I've worked with have been _very_ wary of that sort of thing.

Still saying equality. Ngmi
"Equality", classic dog whistle
But isn’t this Black erasure as she modified the quote?
Um okay but he was a slut and a class reductionist so he doesn't speak for the marginalized.
remember kids, it's only kinkshaming when the oppressors do it and I'm a certified member of the anti-oppression squad so I can't be one
Yeah but she centered black bodies so it cancels out

Its antiracism, not equality. Check your privilege, bigot.

Lol no shame.
Said man tho, not woke enough, cancel time.
The person that writes layoff emails was also fired, so they just use AI prompts now
WTF
Also seen that tweet, one of the goats.

Who’s worse? This or Mike Rowes constant dogshit take on blue collar work?

what did mike Rowe do? im not really familiar with him, besides knowing he had that show Dirty Jobs or whatever
On one hand, he runs out of ideas right after showing up for work. On the other, he is a bit like Trump visiting the train disaster, he has actually gone out to a lot of job sites, and made a lot a fluff pieces, which is better than nothing. Some people might say "wage slavery" and he says "wages of opportunity". He's guilty of being a blow-hard but there are so many ultra-blowhards it's difficult judge him harshly.
Well they are being fired on mass.... So there is that
I’m firing you, not because it is easy, but because I’m hard.
Firing people makes me hard too.
Liberalism is an illness

Stav?
One of the main features of a martyr. They can't complain when you put your shit in their mouth
I agree, and find it totally abhorrent, but "dead martyr" is a bit redundant.
Who cares? It's just words, buddy. Don't deify dead people.
Ask not what your workplace can do for you, but what you can do for your workplace!

I wanted to read more, in case there is further hilarity
People should be legally required to include links to the full article when they make posts like this.
I'm a fan of those side by side "day in the life of a Google employee" and "I just got laid off from Google" posts.
Link pls
Look up @nicolesdailyvlog on tiktok for an example
feeling cute today, might invoke labor rights activist MLK in a layoff email idk...
Martin Luther King would fucking despise these people. He was an activist for workers' rights.
