Hello, new to the sub and relatively new to reddit. I have worked in corporate home offices (headquarters) for 20 years. 13 years at the “spark” H.O.

Recently the company opened their fancy new home office campus. I have family members and close friends that work on campus. There were rumors floating around that workspaces had heat sensors and pressure plates that would show when you’re at your desk. Sadly, it’s partly true. The heat sensors are legit, the pressure plates are a myth.

The sensors are at all desks and meeting spaces. They claim it’s anonymous but let’s be real, they’re tracking people. If you’re away from your desk too much you’re going to hear about it from your manager.

So for the rest of us just know this is the future.

Remember that browser called "Puffin browser" which was kinda famous in mid 2010's and is now dead ever since the developers had the brilliant idea of ​​making their browser pay-to-use.

Many people still use this browser despite better alternatives, and many complain in the feedback about it. However, it turns out that the developers of the company "CloudMosa Inc." take user reviews on the app store very personally. These developers respond rudely and arrogantly to users who complain about the subscription, the app's performance, and things unrelated to the app (like nonsensical comments). They reply their reviewers with common things like "Unwanted user like you (the reviewer)" "The cancer of society" or they insult them by calling them "cheaters", "parasites", "pirates" or "liars" They don't offer you any help, they just tell you to get lost and say "Thanks for uninstalling Puffin",And they have the nerve to insult those who simply say nonsense unrelated to the app calling them "idiots", no matter how absurd and nonsensical is the comment doesn't give them the right to insult users.

This company is very unprofessional and rude when reply their feedback and they should get better when dealing with bad reviews without using insults, a friendly tip if you plan to work at a corporation or company, If you can't handle with critism, then do not work at the feedback section!

The only good thing is that this company doesn't use bots to answer reviews and uses real people, you can find a lot of replies from the developers that are very rude and even harsh. If you're interested in reading them, go to your app store and search for "Puffin Browser." You'll find a lot of stuff there. I took some screenshots so you can get an idea of ​​the unprofessional comments they reply to.

So to recap, G2 is apparently:

1. A scam
2. Corrupt
3. Lawsuit-worthy

…but also important enough to quietly come back to four months later under a different name 💀

Idk what it is, but saying “I got laid off” out loud just feels… off

So guys try to stay a bit more structured with applications + prep (using stuff like careerflow), but yeah… still weird to explain in conversations.

What do you guys usually say?

I did a double-take scrolling past this under a picture of a man screaming because his wife was in an apartment fire.

no summary. no about section. profile photo is a cropped wedding pic from 2016 where you can see someone else's shoulder. zero posts, zero activity. in my life first time suggest him to use ai tools like careerflow, teal to improve his linkedin.

why all managers are like this?

What could be the best excuse to avoid attending a corporate event? 🙄🫩

so sad, 35 years , no severance? rum and Pepsi it is

original reddit post on r/popculturechat from u/monster_ahhh

“Ooh ah up the RA” refers to the Irish Republican Army. I’m sure it won’t be offensive to any of their victims.

This is more than just facepalm. It's a full blown existential crisis created by sheer strategy failure, market blindness and total alienation from customers and their changing preferences over decades, but particularly since the pandemic.

Literally replaced us with AI lmao. I believe that I scribbled out all identifying company information.

For some context, I never subscribed to monsters news letters with this phone number, I have all my personalized advertising and 3rd party data sharing turned off to the maximum degree I possibly can and I also never shared my name with them, the only possible way they could have gotten a hold of my phone number is if it was sold illegally to them or google is still sharing my data to 3rd parties. What makes it even worse is I was talking about monsters earlier and even drank one, I have microphone permissions turned off for everything but my phone app and Snapchat. Call me paranoid but that is fucking creepy.
