It's crazy how 50% of the country rioted all year for a violent felon who overdosed... yet this dickslap of a "relief" package (VASTLY less popular across the spectrum than Fentanyl Floyd) will get nothing.

I wonder why that is?

I work for a subsidiary of a vaguely "American" conglomerate with ~70K employees that operates in about 80 countries, primarily exploiting cheap Chinese labor. China is literally our business model. This year our CEO sent out no less than 3 company-wide memos about SaInT fLoYd.
Employees were encouraged to attend protests, even in the midst of a so-called "pandemic."

Even employees in Europe. Presumably even the employees in China (although they are kept behind a wall of secrecy).

EVERY employee worldwide was offered unlimited time off to protest?
Oh yeah, funny sidebar: nobody in the company knows anyone who works in the Chinese office. I can name employees in the Poland branch or the French branch or Japan, but nobody has ever met a single Chinese branch employee. This is apparently a CCP regulation lol
Anyways, back to the point--management wanted us out there protesting/rioting! They made it abundantly clear. And it seems weird that they were encouraging it in every country, right?

Literally a multinational corporation stoking worldwide racial protests. So weird!
But then like a month later there were layoffs all over the company because of the "pandemic." In many departments up to 60% of employees were cut, while the remaining employees had raises frozen.

We just do twice the work now for the same money. We should be thankful.
But here's the most amazing thing about it all: we. sell. cheap. Chinese. junk. on. the. internet.

There were no fucking "lockdown losses" in our industry lmfao

We posted a record profit that was TRIPLE our previous record, which was set in 2019.
Every single one of those 70K employees were absolutely robbed by globohomo corporate greed this year. If you lost your job for fake reasons you got fucked, and if you kept your job you also still got fucked.

ALL of it was fake and rainbow.
Which is why the fake racism crisis was so perfect.

Send the peasants out into the streets to blow off some steam. Make your employees suffer, then create a fake external problem to blame the suffering on.

Now we have a massive "DE&I" investment we're going to sink $10M into.
See? The company isn't making your life suck, your life sucks because of systemic racism!

And the company is spending $10M... an amount of money to fix racism that *sounds* like a lot, especially if you make $60K. But we laid off a thousand $60K earners lmfao
They wanted us smashing up our neighborhoods instead of smashing up our offices.

Sadly, the psyop worked.

SFFN claims that it has been “a project of the Center For Countering Digital Hate” since 4 May 2020. The relationship between the two organisations, however, appears to date back far longer. And crucially, CCDH is linked to a number of figures on the Labour right. #LabourLeaks

Center for Countering Digital Hate registered at Companies House on 19 Oct 2018, the organisation’s only director was Morgan McSweeney – Labour leader Keir Starmer’s chief of staff. McSweeney was also the campaign manager for Liz Kendall’s leadership bid. #LabourLeaks #StarmerOut

Sir Keir - along with his chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney - held his first meeting with the Jewish Labour Movement (JLM). Deliberately used the “anti-Semitism” crisis as a pretext to vilify and then expel a leading pro-Corbyn activist in Brighton and Hove

https://t.co/TgNblNSCBj – here is why the same applies to Product Management, too.


There is no better way of learning the craft of product, or proving your potential to employers, than just doing it.

You do not need anybody's permission. We don't have diplomas, nor doctorates. We can barely agree on a single standard of what a Product Manager is supposed to do.

But – there is at least one blindingly obvious industry consensus – a Product Manager makes Products.

And they don't need to be kept at the exact right temperature, given endless resource, or carefully protected in order to do this.

They find their own way.
