Weird that these protections exist for corporations that aren’t actually people but no protections exist for the person who was fired.
And how our legal system is setup to best defend the wealthy.
They are the protagonists of democracy after all.
Democracy™®
Manifest!
“Are you waiting to receive my limp penis!?”
Exactly my thought. A corporation destroys people’s lives by firing them? Nothing. Someone actually pushes back? Suddenly the government gets involved.
Eg pictures of dozens of police protecting tesla dealerships
We never left serfdom.
Everyone you have ever met is a servant of the ruling class.
You have never met a ruler and probably never will.
yeah it’s pretty crazy. almost like government is for some things and not others, and knows it, like maybe laws were always just an excuse and tool for victim blaming. or something.
The amazing thing is that the government doesn’t get nearly as much tax income as you’d expect from these hugs companies. It’s almost as if the politicians have some other, secret motivating factor. Oh well, I guess we’ll never know.
wait, are you saying that there’s this class that are the beneficiaries of governments and laws, and it’s the same as the class that doesn’t suffer any limitations when they do stuff that the governments and laws don’t like?
and that we’re in this other class, that the laws and stuff exist to punish, but has to fund them and pay for them, or we get punished for that too?
that’s fucking crazy.
I don’t see how pretending that’s weird is gonna help anyone.
We all know we don’t live in a just world.
We need to try and make it one, instead of pretending we’re living in one which happens to have horrid injustice happening all the time.
I’m no English major, but I’m pretty sure @[email protected] calling it weird is a rhetorical device known as sarcasm.
Hmm, I wonder if it is actually. I think it’s just a euphemism for it’s wrong how" or “it’s weird how we as people keep allowing this to happen in a democratic world”, but I honestly don’t think it’s sarcasm.
I get the point and I write that way all the time too, but I thought to see what happens if I just stop participating in the pretense of it being weird.
But yes maybe it is just sarcasm, but like the same sort of rhetoric is often used to talk about problems which are sort of too complex and large to easily assert something which should or even could be done.
But yes. Sarcasm.

Lu had worked at Eaton Corp. for about 11 years when he apparently became disgruntled by a corporate “realignment” in 2018 that “reduced his responsibilities,” the DOJ said.
So he was 48 at the time he started this. Was he planning on retiring from all work at 48? I can’t imagine any other employer would want to touch him with a 10ft (3.048 meters) pole after he actively sabotaged his prior employer’s codebase causing global outages.
I’m sure DOGE is actively considering hiring him.

So he was pissed because they gave him less work to do???
I’m trying to understand it
IT work is feast or famine.
“IT people, your not doing anything, what the hell do we pay you for?”
“IT people, everything is on fire, what the hell do we pay you for?”
How is that feast or famine
I think they mean in terms of workload, not like pay or something. Either you have a lot of work, or very little work. But when you’re needed, you’re needed urgently.
I have not had that experience at all. Things hardly caught on fire for us though.
i goes it is ON not OR
Reminds me of the timebombs in windows 2000. I guess he’s forced to start fresh.
Timebombs in Windows 2000?
Timebombs in windows 2000!
Oh shit that is a large number
out of the loop :
2000 x 1999 x 1998 x … x 3 x2 x 1 = 2000 !
He fucked up. But it’s also kinda funny.
I actually think I want to give this guy a pat on the back
So when company do it it’s fine but when we do it to companies it’s not?
Naturally. Advantage, privilege and money should only be in the hands of those who run large companies or better.
If that made you angry, bear in mind that’s what most top level company executives think. Well, actually they don’t think it, they know it unconsciously as the true order of the universe they inhabit and they get really uncomfortable should it even look vaguely like someone might be trying a competing philosophy to their own.
To be fair though, most people get really uncomfortable when something might undermine even part of the philosophy they live by.
Literally the same day as HP *activating a “kill switch” code for their printers.
what happened?
(updated with a link)
Part of me sympathizes with the guy, but this was reckless
Talk about incentivizing us to make even more impactful kill switches!
Tbh, what shocks me the most about this is how sloppy this appears to have been executed.
Koala tea internal code review practices
guy really tagged his name on the kill function, which was running on his own system. smh my head
Honestly, if I had done something like this and they twigged to it, I’d consider just fucking off and joining the French foreign legion.
I’d argue that he gave them extra code, a bonus if you will.
