@iloveleetcode @Sadlylifes41u @jeremybernier The Chinese are the least likely people to discriminate against others. Got it ? Your dumb monkey. You’re not my son anymore.

At Meta, 90% of my coworkers were Chinese, and non-Chinese were routinely excluded, disadvantaged, and targeted for layoffs. 6 out of the 7 layoffs I observed targeted non-Chinese despite non-Chinese being the vast minority. Certain orgs like ads and MRS are notorious for being Chinese dominated. I think Americans would be outraged if they knew that their own citizens were getting marginalized and laid off at their own companies, while Chinese promote themselves up, conquer entire orgs, and reap millions. Imagine if Huawei in Shenzhen had entire orgs and leadership chains completely dominated by Japanese people who brazenly spoke Japanese at work without a care in the world that their Chinese coworkers don't understand, imposed their own work culture without respecting Chinese culture, excluded the Chinese, and laid off Chinese people while promoting their own. I imagine Chinese citizens would be outraged, and never allow that to happen in the first place. The most blatant and obvious way that non-Chinese are excluded is that Chinese primarily speak Mandarin at work. I'm not talking about one-off conversations, I'm talking about every single conversation. Loudly and brazenly with no respect for others. 10+ teammates and leaders having a group conversation in Mandarin while the 2 non-Chinese don't understand and feel excluded from the team. Although everyone at least has the decency to speak English during formal meetings with a non-speaker present, it was common that right after the meeting ended everyone would immediately switch to Mandarin. Funny I'm in Korea right now and was just on a double date with 3 other Koreans, and I was shocked that when the conversation would split into two, the other couple would speak to each other in English in my presence just out of respect. A Korean couple on a double-date had the courtesy to speak to each other in English in front of me even though I'd never expect that from them, but my Chinese coworkers did not. Lunch was another place where non-Chinese were blatantly excluded. Recall that the team I joined was an all Chinese team with only one other non-Chinese person. The Chinese would always get lunch together and never invite us (except for one of them who occasionally would, though at some point stopped). Me and the non-Chinese person would invite them, they'd always refuse, and then shortly after they'd disappear and get lunch together. As a result, it was usually just the two of us getting lunch. (caveat, some of the newer Chinese who joined afterwards also experienced similar treatment. So it's moreso a clique thing than a Chinese vs. non-Chinese thing, though 100% of the clique was Chinese) On Wednesdays and Fridays I'd often be the only non-Chinese person on my team in the office, and they'd all get lunch together without inviting me. It was depressing, and made me not want to come into the office on those days. One team dinner we went to a Korean BBQ. I arrived with a non-Chinese coworker and the first table was full, so we sat at one end of the next empty table. Shortly after one of the Tech Leads walked in, and sat at the complete opposite end of our table, alone and not in talking distance to anyone. We invited her over, and she declined. Later another Tech Lead came in and sat across from her. Non-Chinese and Chinese at opposite ends of a long table at a team dinner, and they refused to sit with us. Eventually more people came and the TLs joined our side because I guess maybe it was too obviously anti-social, and they spent the entire dinner speaking speaking Chinese to each other. These were our tech leads. I could not understand how Meta could have "Tech Leads" that so blatantly excluded teammates. I thought Tech Leads were supposed to uplift the team, and that Meta would hold tech leads to a higher standard. Now someone might say that it's just lunch or a one-off team dinner, who cares? To that I vehemently disagree. Lunch is extremely important for team bonding, and so much information is transferred through informal socializing. I'm not saying that everyone needs to get lunch together everyday, but if a minority of people are excluded from getting lunch with the rest of the team, and especially the most tenured and senior employees, then naturally that minority is going to feel alienated, disadvantaged, and excluded from opportunities. And the very fact that they're excluded from lunch is reflective of being excluded in general. When 90% of an org and the entire leadership chain is dominated by one ethnicity, naturally their work culture is going to spill through. Chinese culture is completely different from American work culture, and learning to navigate that was a huge obstacle for me. For example I'm the type that tends to question everything and isn't afraid to challenge a "superior", but I quickly realized that my TL seemed to take offense to that, and would punish/retaliate me for it. I want to make it clear - I have nothing against Chinese people. Most of them are very kind (strong correlation between kindness and not engaging in the kind of exclusionary behavior I mentioned above), and I have many good friends who are Chinese. I get that some barely speak English (though I question how they got hired). I do genuinely believe that most are good people, and not deliberately trying to exclude others. But regardless of intent, the result is that non-Chinese get excluded. The fact that 6 of the 7 layoffs I observed were not Chinese in a 80-90% Chinese dominated org is testament to this. The fact that 90% Chinese dominated orgs even exist in the first place is testament to this. I might not even be posting about this given the sensitivity of the topic if not for the fact that I've seen and/or heard stories of some very toxic people who I do not believe would otherwise survive if not for their ability to exclude others, throwing others under the bus for the next layoff. The same people do this over and over again, and get away with it because they're part of the "clique" that essentially has immunity. I think the company needs to take this more seriously. Some ideas would be enforcing English at the office (I've heard of other teams that do this), raising leaders to a higher bar when it comes to team inclusivity (eg. under the "People" axis), investigating potential discrimination cases (eg. layoffs and/or mistreatment disproportionally affecting certain groups) and having a zero tolerance policy around that, having a zero tolerance policy around injustice in general (eg. lying or deliberately throwing somebody under the bus), ensuring more diverse teams, etc. But to be honest, I don't have faith that much would change so long as the entire leadership chain up to the VP level is dominated by the same ethnicity, language, and culture. Nor does it seem that leadership even remotely cares given that this has been happening in the HQ for probably at least the last decade, and is obvious to anyone who's stepped foot in the office.

@wellanyway2 @Sadlylifes41u @jeremybernier You should assimilate then dumbfuck

@Sadlylifes41u @jeremybernier Because their English is very poor. Because they've spoken Chinese their whole lives, and speaking English just doesn't have that natural feel to it. Do you understand, you idiot.

@amedhat_ @jeremybernier Lmao what he’s saying is quite accurate.

@jeremybernier That’s a fairly non-chalant response following a post that will fuel a great deal of hate speech.

@NipseyHoussle are you an hr guy or a larp engineer? curious to know what you have built

The issue with these big tech guys is they're probably good at whiteboard interviews but were a tiny cog in a huge machine. They have no experience being responsible for an entire product or a company's set of products. He was probably in charge of a login form button or something for 7 years. Nobody needs that sort of person anymore. Not even big tech. As a tiny startup, I see a resume from AWS/Meta etc come in and put it in the trash immediately. I don’t even read it. They’ll never transition from working 2-3 hours a day with free lunch etc to working at a normal company.

@chaka_________ @sigfig 🤣

@sigfig i know we like to have fun on here but the recent obsession with iq/physiognomy/etc was always to soft launch "acceptable" eugenics rhetoric again. probably gonna be a shadily-funded Kick streamer or tiktoker running around in public guessing ppl's IQ by end of year

the iq obsessed people starting to fearmonger about low iq people seems like a very bad sign

@0xdasha That larper and his contributions to “foundational AI.” Makes me laugh. Does more tweeting than working

@signulll 😂

if you want to know how bad the nba is, the “mvp” is a disgusting flopper who consistently pushes off the defenders & just draws fouls, & its “championship” team is a dishonorable bunch of losers who play the game entirely the wrong way, against its very spirit. what a broken product, it’s completely unwatchable.

@Anni3ac @brianonhere @pallakschh what is it called?

@brianonhere @pallakschh This is true there’s gig work website owned by uber that is paying ppl for this now as well.

@rennyzucker @USDS Terrible take

@USDS Thinking that COBOL is inferior just because it’s old is a sign of low intelligence. It’s optimized for latency and raw the output AKA it’s perfect for the jobs that it’s still used for… US Gov actually increased its IBM spending under the current administration (good thing).

If you don’t know what COBOL is, it’s a programming language created in the 1960s. And yes, some of the federal systems Americans rely on today are still running on it. That means parts of the technology behind critical government operations were built before the internet, smartphones, or GPS even existed. When we talk about “legacy systems,” this is what we mean. America cannot build the future on infrastructure built for another era. That’s why bringing the best tech talent into government matters. That’s why work is underway to move these systems forward.

@OG_DrC u are regarded. this is why you are a chiropractor. you believe in pseudoscience.

Jeff has right sided blepharoparesis / ptosis - aka droopy eyelid (neurological weakness) “Jeff” in that video does not. Whoever that is , it’s not Jeff Bezos

@mil000 Money laundering

I like these YC companies because they basically don’t exist and get abandoned within 6 months

@Linahuaa U are becoming boujee

One obvious sign someone grew up poor is that they enjoy all kinds of peasant food. I love kebabs, McDonald's double cheeseburgers, canned white sausages, Pizza Hut. In fact, I prefer a pizza hut hawai over any authentic napoli pizza. And I prefer fast food over 3 star Michelin. That being said, I've been to fine dining more often in the past few years, and I'm kinda acquiring the taste. I think in a few more years I will prefer snob food over peasant food.

Reject slop

@zaranuser Meet her or ur gonna regret this moment

@Dshoopy0 @sporadica Tbf some places have a big food desert issue

@sporadica Most "poor" people just don't have self control. Instead of going to buy groceries they will doom scroll for a few hours, they will then complain that they don't have time.

DoorDash is simultaneously a human right after being founded just 13 years ago AND its founders are unethical evil people bc their DoorDash stock is now worth over a billion dollars. yes this makes sense.
