I will never work in big tech again

I'm tired of everything being political.

I'm tired of constant political emails.

I'm tired of putting my pronouns everywhere.

I'm tired of diversity training.

I'm tired of being ostracized for not believing in wokeism.

I'm tired of social justice.

I'm tired of companies saying they want diversity of thought but disallowing employees to have diversity of thought.

The worst thing I ever did was waste my time to pursue a career in this industry. It is toxic from the top to the bottom.

So, I'm done. I will never work for big tech again. The money isn't worth it. I'd rather be paid half the salary at a normal company that doesn't feel like a neo-communist enclave.

Let the downvotes and societal sanctioned harassment begin.

Not worth it. I value my mental health too much.

I've made great money working at small to mid-size corps (and some big ones) where 100% of the nonsense one must live with in FAGMAN Companies just doesn't exist. You come in do your work, have fun, and then fuck off home.

Is this "the grass is greener..."?

Small(er) companies have politics, they espouse family values ("we are a family, lets rally!"), but it's only a one way street. It's still very much a business relationship, just without the big tech pay.

I think you'll find that small tech has issues. Is there no way to treat working for big tech as a business transaction and compartmentalize the negatives?

I'm aiming to get into big tech because I need to work, so if I'm working 8 hours a day (or so) then I might as well maximize my earnings.

Any place in particular you'd like to work next?

What's your new dream industry/job?
