Like I didn't say it was like the bad or good.

I just said that like, oh my God, what the heck?

That's crazy.

because it was associated with her and all the press articles would link both of ours I got lumped into the narrative of the whole fuck big tech big tech bad they just want to ruin your lives and I had the most amount of press inquiries in my inbox like trying to get me to comment and I actually thought discord did a good job with the layoff process as good as they can it's not an easy thing to do so I think you know I didn't comment at all I was like just trying to

figure out where i was at um i did not respond to anything and i just there's a lot of off-boarding to do a lot of hr work to do a lot of paperwork a lot of figuring out your cobra your health insurance um making sure you're you have everything say goodbye tell everyone tell everyone that it's you that got impacted and they reach out to you on referrals and next steps so there's a lot to process um i remember that night when the laid off happened i posted about it it went i think it it

Right now it's probably like 40 million views across maybe platforms on the layoff in general.

And people memed about it too.

It's like, it is what it is.

Oh, I got retweeted into the like,

the elon musk fanboy pits of hell on twitter x so that was awful i think i posted about it on x slash twitter i don't know when what it was at the time and then it got retweeted into oblivion but i don't really use twitter so i don't i didn't read anything i didn't really know i read it like for a second and people are bashing me really hard like so much hate like oh she deserved it whatever

um they hated me for having blank walls they're like wow she's so dumb she doesn't even have books in her house it was so bizarre it was so bizarre man like i did not understand it i was like come on at least if you're gonna hate at least give me something good to work with like i just can't even process uh yeah that was insane it got millions of views and i till this day i still don't i still haven't seen the post again but people have told me like wow that was awful people were fighting do you know what blind is actually

Blind is like this anonymous forum for tech workers to share their comp and like complain about their companies and their managers.

And I was a target of hate on Blind, which is really annoying because Blind's SEO is so good.

So whenever I like search up my articles to link from a media kit for content stuff, I see topics of me on Blind and I'm just like, oh, fuck me.

That's awful.

And I do my best to not click onto it.

So for the most part, I don't click onto my Reddit or my my blind posts.

I'm pretty good with that.

But the reactions are polarizing.

Yeah.
