I have no clue why he was so focused on me not caring to be his friend. We weren't very close. But long story short I told him that anyone who voted for Trump in 2020 was racist.
A white dude I knew through hoops left a comment on my page about Kyle Rittenhouse's victims. He said "play stupid games. win stupid prizes."
I unfriended him. Then months later he messaged me on Xbox Live asking why. I said it didn't matter.

I have no clue why he was so focused on me not caring to be his friend. We weren't very close. But long story short I told him that anyone who voted for Trump in 2020 was racist.
Now Kyle Rittenhouse is out on bail drinking underage in bars and flashing white supremacist hand signs in photos.
I haven't received a text from him.
Where were the "Kyle Rittenhouse's" of the world to protect property then?
I'll tell you where they were... storming the building.
Because the same way I know Trump voters are racist is the same way I knew Kyle Rittenhouse was a white supremacist.
The only thing that dude cared about was his own ego. He wanted me to absolve him of any complicity.
Essentially he wanted to say "You can't fire me I quit!"
Which is weird because I never really cared that much about him or unfriending him. For months this shit was on his mind.
But NOW?
Not that I'm gonna text him to find out though.
I KNOW I'm right.
At some point you just get tired of talking to white people who continue to give whiteness the benefit of the doubt.

“We don’t negotiate salaries” is a negotiation tactic.
Always. No, your company is not an exception.
A tactic I don’t appreciate at all because of how unfairly it penalizes low-leverage, junior employees, and those loyal enough not to question it, but that’s negotiation for you after all. Weaponized information asymmetry.
Listen to Aditya
And by the way, you should never be worried that an offer would be withdrawn if you politely negotiate.
I have seen this happen *extremely* rarely, mostly to women, and anyway is a giant red flag. It suggests you probably didn’t want to work there.
You wish there was no negotiating so it would all be more fair? I feel you, but it’s not happening.
Instead, negotiate hard, use your privilege, and then go and share numbers with your underrepresented and underpaid colleagues. […]

"we don't negotiate salaries" really means "we'd prefer to negotiate massive signing bonuses and equity grants, but we'll negotiate salary if you REALLY insist" https://t.co/80k7nWAMoK
