    Are we really going to pretend that Xooglers struggle landing jobs in tech? Relative to what the average software engineer goes through, they are "handed jobs".

    > Based on your other comments, it seems your main complaint is the use of the word "toxic". Which I agree is overused and has been expanded to cover more ground than it used to, b…

    No, but if we're lowering the bar for what constitutes "toxic" to something that is widely experienced then that is inherently dismissive of actually toxic work environments that a…

    From what I read, "toxic" is an exaggeration of the work environment and undermines the message that OP is trying to convey.

    If OP's description is what constitutes a "toxic workplace" then any service job/Amazon warehouse/construction job is also toxic. From what I read, I would describe OP's team as se…

    If I'm reading this right, the crux of the issue was overworked engineers and unproductive meetings that got heated between experts? And the resultant stress led to brain damage? P…

    I just started working out of a space in Boston last month and it's been sublime. There's always a WeWork in whatever city I'm traveling to and at 25$ per day (beyond my usual cred…
