Hey tumblr yknow the term “quiet quitting” aka shaming ppl for mentally checking out of awful workplaces?
There should also be “quiet retirement” for upper mgmt bozos who do the bare minimum and cash out. Please loudly talk about this so they shit themselves and get paranoid. xoxo thanks
A guy at my husband’s work, the guy he was brought into eventually take over for, was going to retire at the end of the year. He’s been threatening it whenever he doesn’t like his workload, which is why they hired on my husband. But now that my husband is there to help with the workload, this guy refuses to train him or let him take on any tasks (while still complaining about his workload being too much). And now he’s saying he doesn’t want to retire until the end of next year. He’s recieving social security, he owns his house, and he wants to come to work and not do any actual work and still rake in his sizeable ass paycheck. Which is stagnating my husband’s position as the bosses try to find other work for him. When my husband got hired, this guy had just gotten back from a week long vacation and immediately started bitching about being overworked and underpaid (which I can promise, he is not).
It just pisses me off that a young, hard working man like my husband has to fight tooth and nail to get paid decently for his labor so we can pay our out-of-control rent costs and keep food on the table while fucking boomers hang onto their jobs and cushy salaries while doing fuckall for actual work and also collecting social security and have a big cushy retirement to fall back on.
Definitely bringing “quiet retirement” into the lexicon
Reblogging with this great addition. I hope that guy gets what he deserves and your husband prospers.
I also just found out that my old boss, aka the guy who was notorious for getting paid to complain about meetings and not actually work, was bffs with HIS boss. They even did bff vacations together. No wonder why he survived 3 rounds of job cuts.
the thing is this dashboard change isnt the end of the world ill get used to it whatever im just fucking dying of embarrassment that its supposed to look like twitter
twitter gets run over by a bus and the next day tumblr comes 2 school wearing her clothes like. oh my god come on
I cannot put into words how much I Fucking Loathe the fact that when you search something on youtube now it will randomly intersperse blocks of “people also watched” and “for you” into the results. That’s not what I searched for, youtube. I typed in a search query because I wanted to see search results, not random unrelated garbage you have placed in my way apparently to either inconvenience me or force me to scroll further for actual results. I despise your wretched little games and every time I see it I can only instantly close the tab as I am overcome with the urge to burn something down.
“I despise your wretched little games” perfectly conveys how I feel about the entire algorithm/attention economy
They also refuse to actually show the parameters you searched for. If you sort by “upload date,” the first few videos might be more recent ones by upload date, but anything past that you’ll find a video that was uploaded five years ago, then five months ago, then three years ago, etc, which—NO! That’s NOT WHAT I ASKED FOR!! PUT THEM IN ORDER!!!
Also sometimes the “people also watched” bullcrap will not only be entirely unrelated, it will also be videos with violent, sometimes outright triggering thumbnails. I’ve gotten some AWFUL unrelated video thumbnails just when searching for video game music videos.
Friendly reminder that Hozier’s first music video, in 2013, involved him literally taking his life savings and using it to make a protest video about anti-gay actions in Chechnya. This was not a popular position at the time, to the point that damn near every interviewer asked “so, are you gay?” because they literally could not figure out why he cared so much.
Incidentally, after the first few times of saying “no, I’m straight but it’s important,” he started saying “you can think that if you want.” ALSO not a popular position at the time. Adam Lambert’s entire career had been derailed only four years before because he dared to be openly gay and sexual about it.
He literally came out swinging like Muhammad Ali and hasnot stopped. And he finds it odd that people find it odd! Like he was asked if he was aware of his “lesbian cult following” and seemed genuinely puzzled why he has a lesbian cult following (and, later, just a massive queer following in general) and it’s like. Honey. You loved us first. You loved us more and harder than most people were willing to. When it was unpopular to even whisper about how maybe queer people shouldn’t be seen as inhuman actually, you grabbed a megaphone and screamed. You risked not just losing a career, but never having one at all, to stand by us. You loved us. We’re just loving you back.
you want to help stop tumblr from murdering itself? here’s how!
click this link and go to the support page, then click “contact support”
click on the category list and click on feedback
now you need to tell staff WHY putting in an algorithm will cause the site to fucking die, and be sure to be detailed and not a dick in it. theyre not gonna listen to feedback calling them assholes
i encourage you to reblog this so we can get as many people leaving feedback as humanly possible. we need to let staff know this is an utterly terrible idea
by the way, tumblr has turned off asks on all of their staff blogs, so this is the only way to tell tumblr how you feel
Post-apocalyptic, trans-human, non-monogamous, genderqueer, bisexual. Science fiction and the sound of rain keeps me sane.
Desperately lonely, isolated and depressed, speaking my second language to survive. Hate surprises like burning thunder.
