What are the thread tech worker's thoughts on the Netflix situation this week? I work in the European office of an American tech MNC and everyone this side of the pond is completely mystified at the employee protests. Chappelle spends a good chunk of the show in question talking about his good friend who was trans, and who killed herself due to bullying, and the damage of that... So even leaving aside the freedom of speech concerns it seems a massive overreach to be trying to get him cancelled for transphobia for anyone whos watched it. And stuff like this video just makes the protesters look like complete nutjobs: https://www.reddit.com/r/Cringetopia/comments/qcgnvo/netflix_employees_attacks_a_man_for_having_a_we/ (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

He talks about his trans friend then basically pisses on his grave by saying he is a TERF, therefore saying transfems don't belong, and you are confused about that? And the rear end that showed up to stand up for "Jokes" is also a piece of poo poo and should get hosed. This isn't even some "The product of their time" thing like Monty Python or other comedy things, this is today. This is now, and he made this joke knowing how it would be taken.

The website already got compromised, its going to be a joke like every enterprise Donnie sets up, because he's BAD at this and purposefully doesn't understand technology, so its easy for any of his scam/grift friends to take advantage of him, if he isn't already in on the grift himself.

It's funny that in college among my peers the FAANG companies were considered the cream of the crop but now I'm happy for having nothing to do with them. Working at a tech company with name recognition is a curse, not a blessing. The last thing you want is your company's name in people's mouths.

I'm sure there's a early peroid of time in their early history where you can make gangbusters money and then exit out before they re-invent weird cult culture and other things they re-invented like being anti union and super non overtime work.

Hope you enjoy working 80 hour weeks for what turns out to be a narcissistic nut job that you are in no way insulated from. Maybe you'll be a millionaire when you get acquired, maybe your job doesn't disappear with the founder and your last months back salary when the place goes under! Go for those boring midrange companies that have room to grow, but which have been around long enough that they've managed to grind some of the edges into smoothness. Put in your 40 and live your life. Embrace mediocrity.

You also breed a lot a tritium in the moderator if you want to get spicy with a fusion booster. On the one hand, yeah, but on the other hand, for any existing nuclear armed state and any major industrial power I don't see why super secret proliferation using power reactors is a concern. Sure, lean on like Iran or North Korea or random People's Democratic Republics with a rotating cast of tinpot dictators to not use CANDUs, but if China or France or Japan wanted to make nuke material they could just do it without lying about running a reactor for peaceful purposes. suck my woke dick fucked around with this message at 09:33 on Oct 22, 2021 |

Interesting if eh slightly aggressive responses re: Netflix/Chappelle. I've no dog in the fight, I don't know Chappelle's background of views so amn't here to defend him. If hes a notorious bigot thats obviously not good and he deserves to get called out on that. But the employee protests don't seem to be about anything hes said in the past (and didn't occur then), they seem to be explicitly about the views espoused on the current Netflix special, no? And obviously videos like the one in my post speak for themselves. Those protestors don't look reasonable with their actions/behaviour. Or with physically storming into senior staff meetings in Netflix, leaking confidential internal financial data etc. Surely theres a more adult way to have a conversation about workplace issues? To be clear I'm not defending Chappelle himself overall, my post was just stating that to my non-American eyes having watched the show in question it seemed if anything to raise awareness of the dangers of bullying of trans people, and talk about feminist issues. It just doesn't seem transphobic at all. If anything hes a lot harsher on Jewish people in it, but there don't seem to be any protests about that. I'd love to know what exactly actual American tech workers, not the media, think he says in it is transphobic - and what they think Netflix should be doing about it? (not even from an arguing against them point of view either - just literally to be informed. It all seems a completely alien mindset/workplace reaction to people not from the US, even those with liberal LGBT social views within similar fields of work. I hope asking that doesn't result in another probation...)

You also breed a lot a tritium in the moderator if you want to get spicy with a fusion booster. Okay, *effectively* unusable for making nuclear weapons. If being used as nuclear reactors. To make power. Sure is strange how other, more easily weaponised designs are widely favoured (and even generate power well at the same time)!

I'll let others reply to your other questions but I'll address this one. When you get a protest and a sole person turns up with a banner counter to that, bad things will happen. He knew this, it was intentional, he's clearly trolling. Yes it worked but it would have worked with almost any protest for any cause as all you need is 1 person to snap and react to you and in a group of hundreds of people that person is almost guaranteed to exist. So you just walk amongst them antagonising people until you find that person and 'tadaaaa' you've managed to villify a whole protest. And if you arnt patient enough you plant that person to guarantee it will happen. It's a tactic that's been around forever and commonly used by police world wide to justify violence.

This particular bit didn't happen. It was a digital meeting and the employee in question was provided the link by a director, which is obviously an implicit invitation to attend.

As someone not from the US, let me help you out here. He openly identified himself as being a transphobic rear end, a bigot, and just generally a terrible human being over the years. Netflix gave the shithead a platform. People are angry they put money above all else. Netflix should not have carried his show. They should apologise publicly. The "comedy" special should be removed from their platform. They. Should. Have. Been. Better. "Why are these jokes about a group from this bigot not appreciated by that group?" Not the hill I would have picked, but you do you.

This is some framing here, trying to claim that because you aren't personally trans or don't know Chappelle's background, you have some moral high ground or special perspective that should be considered. Also note that they didn't even mention the trans perspective, except to say that it was "aggressive".
