  • Imagine pouring your years and efforts into making this company the giant it became, and this is how they repay you. I have to imagine it’s gonna be hard to find a new job at the same pay level etc, considering everyone is currently making big cuts to their workforce 🫠

    “After careful consideration of Oracle’s current business needs, we have made the decision to eliminate your role as part of a broader organizational change,” copies of layoff notification email viewed by Business Insider stated. “As a result, today is your last working day.”

    Oh, and one last thing:

    Oracle declined to comment.

    I really despise these food delivery apps . To me, it’s already expensive enough to buy fast food (or fancier food) in the first place. But to nearly double the price you would have paid, all to avoid walking or driving down the street to get it? I mistakenly assumed that it was doomed to fail when i found out how ridiculously overpriced it is (not to mention, you have to tip them on top of all that?!?)… I mean, good for the people who need to make the $ at least (while they still can, it seems inevitable that robots/autonomous vehicles will eventually capture this money-making avenue as well)


  • This is exactly my mindset these days. I never managed to get ahead, hell i barely ever managed to catch up. I’ve been paranoid in the past about my inability to put aside any savings, but now i don’t even think it matters. In the end, the healthcare industry will ultimately take all of my money–there’s no way i can afford treatment for even minor problems, much less the big stuff that lies in wait for us when we get older. So why bother trying to create a savings–just to have them take it all away? So i can squeak a couple more years of life, penniless after having battled cancer? Fuck that.

    Nothing weird about it. End of the world seems within our sights. Perfect time to pick up a self-destructive habit, imo 😅

    For real though, i quit a few years back and it’s been such a game-changer. I also chalk the fact that i did something positive and healthy as the reason why we seem to be nearing a potential ‘end-of-world’ scenario. If i just would have continued suckin down those cancer sticks we would likely be in a much better position, globally. Sorry guys 😬
