Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

It's so much easier to cope with exploitative working arrangements when you're working for a large company. I almost wish I could go back from working for a small startup (hexbear.net)

Just the title. I've been pulling some crazy all-nighters and I'm absolutely exhausted, and I'm remembering a time when I could comfortably say "fuck off" without any mixed feelings. Now I feel some perverse responsibility to kill myself for our project and I kind of hate myself for it.

I've worked minimum wage for big corporations and for small business tyrants.

The small business tyrants were worse, more likely to outright ignore regulations and laws, and tried to get away with some shit that wouldn't be worth the trouble of burdening a big corporation's legal team.
