You know the oldest millennials are just entering their mid-30s so my own kind has probably gone yuppie and is giving their bosses the inside scoop on how to manipulate us.

As much as I can understand this, it’s about young people pretending that working 80 plus hours a week offers some kind of liberating enlightenment. Can someone tell me wtf is going on here?

And workers are discovering how much power they wield. In November, some 20,000 Googlers participated in a walkout protesting the company’s handling of sexual abusers. Other company employees shut down an artificial intelligence contract with the Pentagon that could have helped military drones become more lethal.
Aaaaand Google's getting into the killing business now. Fantastic. Maybe Google Earth is how we found Bin Laden?

Do what exactly as told or be sick, homeless, and hungry. Same tactic since the beginning.
