Some fun here but wow do these get negative. I can relate to a lot of this stuff and I hope the artist is ok.

If a relationship is bringing you sadness and negativity all the time then it either needs some nurturing or a nuclear option.

The nice thing with employer relationships is you can literally walk away. Relationships with people are worth fixing but no job is worth the sadness, even if it’s with someone as prestigious as Google.com.

US’s culture has a lot of focus on one’s self and the steps one should take to get themselves better. Little focus on how awful systems or companies coughlike Googlecough are the one’s with the issues, not us.

This is not my experience working for Bay Area tech companies at all. A significant number of employees seem to think criticizing their employer is their primary job function.

If there’s nothing to complain about at the moment, they’ll manufacture it. They need a constant outlet to express how awful and oppressive their employer is, and if they don’t get enough attention internally, they’ll turn to Twitter and try to drum up outrage externally.

If a company has crossed an ethical (not political) line, I’m all for taking a stand. But this goes far beyond that.
