Soul-crushing work for a soul-crushing company. Hard to feel much sympathy.
The "soul's crushing work" they are crying about is actually not enough of work or not enough interesting work. Not the sole volume. They sound like angry kids.

#52> “It's literally the gulag,” one of the employees claims. “You have zero purpose in life all of a sudden, you barely interact with anyone, you just have these tasks every week." May I be blessed with a life so comfortable that I would be able to complain in such a way.
How come people these days treat jobs like its a social gathering?
The same people who bully the ones that actually do the work for not being fit for “company culture”. I had a similar experience before where I over delivered every task, but that wasn’t enough because I refused to join pizza parties and other “team building” activities.

Indeed. Zero sympathy for someone helping creating this man his slop machine. It's kinda funny that their main problem is that they don't have enough work. >“It's literally the gulag,” one of the employees claims. “You have zero purpose in life all of a sudden, you barely interact with anyone, you just have these tasks every week." >Across the company, more than 1,600 employees have signed a petition demanding that M…
The Gulag AIpeono is such a letdown compared to the original. At least they have the decency to not compare themselves to chattel slaves.
I assume that’s a reference to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gulag_Archipelago

You can come back now. The pizza parties and other "team building" activities are gone. Until they realize they could record them as training content for the robot AI models.

I want to work with people I like and who's company I enjoy; it's not all about executing the task with maximum efficiency. I can replace you with a solid robot worker before I can find another awesome human.

Yea isn’t that basically all “normal” work? You do tasks and have little ownership or fun. It’s also obviously not “literally” the gulag. Do these children know what a gulag is and what happens there? It’s quite offensive to equate their luxurious spoiled lives with people getting tortured and murdered over politics.
You do usually get to interact with coworkers at some points if the day though? Are they isolating them during breaks or something weird here
They're taking people who were skilled in product dev, employed to be product dev, and then assigning them data entry and telling them to suck it up or get leave.
They're not isolated... But they're no longer doing what they were trained to do, what they were employed to do, or what they can eek some satisfaction out of. Sure, they're talking with explosive terms - but they're also social media employees. That goes with the territory.

Due to "politics" my teams main responsibility went from developing ai agents to just testing out a chat it developed by another team.
When you spend 8 hours a day doing mind numbing tasks, tasks that won't help you land another job and is constantly under stress of being fired, its bad for your mental health

Working with others only works if you work with others
