I was once a single mom in a homeless shelter. I taught myself how to code and broke into tech without a college degree. Getting hired as a documentation engineer at Meta meant everything, not only to me, but to my family. I made my parents proud. I was the success story.

I really loved my time at Meta and took a lot of pride in my work and the community I built. I served as the global lead for the Black@Pride ERG and assisted with its developer advocacy team for a brief period. I truly believed I'd stay forever.

We knew layoffs were coming, but we didn't know who would be affected. Maybe my head was in the clouds, but I really didn't think I would be.

I was shocked to be laid off, especially since it was part of a round of layoffs targeting low performers. I was always so proud of my work, and I just didn't think I fell in that category. It was devastating, and I had no idea what to do next.

>"developer advocacy team"
HR-like DEI focused work, which is being replaced with indians anyway, only work being advocating for black people kind of just waste of money, and previous position of being a secretary ("documentation engineer") kind of obsolete.
cant find job because her existence became redundant within company / not attractive enough to be a real secretary

>>107468259
techfags who get surprised at being laid off (especially at FAANGs) are interesting to see. you do know that you are working in the tech sector, right? the sector with constant non-ending layoffs as it's the norm?
>>
>>107468259
>took a lot of pride in my work
Yeah. When you're building a stick to hit people with, what matters is the pride you take from building the stick.

So tell us your role in the company. What do you do?
>I'm black and female
OK but what do you actually DO?
>I'm black and gay and I represent other black and gay female staff here
And what does that entail exactly? how does that earn the company any money?
>I balance diversity quotas. it makes META look good
So you're only here as a statistic? Collect your things, you're fired.

I'm always amazed how those retards can eloquently formulate the value they thought they brought while half the high performers I know are just so much stuck in the real problems they are solving they can barely sperm out what they are doing. And when you remove them you suddenly realize how much they were actually holding things together.

Anyways good riddance, all that those FAGMAN companies can do is only hire those types of benzo propulsed gay BIPOC dumbasses only to realize it added more problems along the way

Is literally everything the white man's burden, even doing woke tech shit?

everybody was afraid to criticize how shitty her work was that she began to actually believe she was an important part of the company, the delusion was core to her identity that even after getting fired she can't even accept that it was all in her head

I do that and still outperform everyone else

Really hard to tell what she actually did at the company

it's insane how we fed these parasites for like 4 years after that nigger overdosed

Tons of programmers are struggling to find jobs right now. Why does she deserve an entire article?

>>107468259
I wonder if she could tell me what she actually achieved when she worked there.

Once, not long ago, you'd be considered the worst racist living for even asking. Rest in piss Biden era.

>>107468259
Everyone at a tech company is a low performer, they just don't want to be honest about it.
>>
>>107468259
Why do these kind of posts never mention how long the person worked there?
With 4 years of FAGMAN salary you can almost retire...

>Have you ever attempted to learn something new only to find that most of the content was either too hard to follow/understand and or left you more confused than when you first started, too technical, or doesn’t hold your attention?

This talk will get into why inclusive content is important, how to make sure the content creating is inclusive, and how creators, learners, and companies can all benefit from inclusive content.

>documentation engineer
Most companies still call this a technical writer. It's a legit job, boring and little career progression though. What's Meta's problem that they can't just use the normal name?

Every company is dropping their DEI teams, so yeah, you should learn to flip some burgers or some shit.

Sounds like she was documenting DEI activities, not technical work.

that's silly

This has to be a fresh pasta

>>107468259
This is actually a pretty good example of how DEI directly hurts the people it's supposed to help. She's obviously not even remotely qualified as a few seconds of >>107473623 illustrates. However, because of the meta hire, she mistakenly believes that she can genuinely be a competitive hire in the tech field. DEI hires are only temporary, so after the inevitable layoff this puts her in the conundrum of trying to find another tech job in a very competitive field that she isn't even remotely qualified for. Presumably being hired at meta also resulted in her significantly changing her lifestyle to something that isn't sustainable for someone of her skill level, so that's another thing she will have to inevitably deal with.

To be fair, meta is a layoff factory right now.

I turned down 5 candidates for a PM role last month that look like her and talk like her, and every one of them only knew buzzwords and seemed like a complete liability.

but she was let go 9-10 months ago

What does a documentation engineer do and how do you do it badly?
>>
>>107483312
>what does a documentation engineer do
Evidently, translates technical manuals to ebonics.
>how do you do it badly?
If you don't understand the source material yourself, per her own words, you can't translate it to ebonics effectively

And once you start hiring people like her, they'll start undermining the organizational structure, demanding everyone cater to their demands or be labeled evil racists, hiring each other and creating titles and positions for supporting inclusivity and harassing your productive workforce

Every place with non-retarded management understands the autists are the ones keeping the show running.
