"Don't waste any time mourning. Organize!"
-Joe Hill
My brother texted the family group chat this quote before he went to work today. I'm not in a good place this morning, but we can't lose ourselves to despair. I know I have a lot of anger right now, but getting into whose fault that is won't help anyone.
Dwelling on the people I will never forgive won't help anyone.
I'm not that optimistic, but hope is a choice we can still make. It's a hard one to make this morning, but I'm still going to do my best. We are where we are, and focusing on yesterday won't change that. We can only move forward, and save as many as we can along the way.
There will be a tomorrow because we're going to make sure there's a tomorrow.

middle management at tech companies are like the apendix no one knows what they are for
Simply put, hierarchy is the only way we know how to deal with workforce scalability. The CEO of a multinational firm can’t manage every directly, so they have reports. There are too many for each report to manage directly, so they have reports under them, etc.
I kinda want to go back an take a class in applied economics or something, because I don’t understand how most businesses stay in business.
I’ve wondered about that one for years…
You said it right there: it’s the same everywhere, i.e. the competition isn’t doing any better. So why would they go out of business?
