You definitely won't want to work at Discord anymore!
Imagine a place where working is beyond miserable. A place where if you provide feedback, you get written up. A place where your manager will berate you and if you complain, you get punished. Sounds good? Well work at Discord!
Recently Discord employees have been going through a gauntlet of new managers and work culture shift. From a wonderful place where creativity was booming to a toxic FAANG oriented workplace where people are only working so they don't become homeless.
Discord please refrain from trying to hire me when my channel explodes and dies.

Not everyone at Discord hates their job. Tons of people are in a good position with a good team. But there will be people that have very negative experiences as shown in the video. Don't harass Discord Staff about whether or not they hate their job. It's annoying.

life is never all this comfortable and shiny and convenient you people cry too much on the Internet don't like the job? fucking clench your balls, leave, and work your ass off somewhere else. and i don't get this "can't afford to leave [the job]" expression. you want good money? be ready for burnouts and a ton of stress. can't take this stress? don't even apply for such job, you are not ready for it. and all the above is the direct consequences of your beloved capitalism.

Fun little worktips for everyone; 1. If they're always hiring, they're always firing. 2. HR is not there to protect you, they're there to protect the company. 3. Talking about your salaries to other co-workers ISN'T illegal, whenever a company says it's illegal, they're hiding shit. 4. You can quit without giving notice. ("Despite work etiquette and standards, no laws require employees to give any notice whatsoever - let alone two weeks - before quitting. While breached contracts may impact compensation or trigger a lawsuit, there aren't any legal protections for employers when employees decide to leave." ~ Business News Daily) 5. Always join a Work Union. Many corporations are going Anti-Union in order to exploit workers. 6. You are not built to work, your personal life comes first always.

I don't know any bad discord servers? I am a weeb, and all the anime or more niche things like Danmei (Chinese BL novels, I am bi and a fanboy) servers I've been in are super fun and positive! Then again, I've only ever used it for DM's with friends, server for biggest Dutch anime convention animecon, some virtual convention's server, danmei server, etc. I don't know how any servers outside of fandom are. Or maybe I've just been lucky. But all the ones I am in are nice and positive and friendly with good vibes. So, I'll happily keep using it :3 Also because 99% of everyone at any con you go to will of course have discord or maybe insta as default social, and I like making friends and being able to keep talking to them after the convention LMAO

I remember when updates were nice and exciting (I even kept around that one server of mine that randomly got video chat enabled in it like 5 years ago or something) and discord was something I was proud to promote (this was before I started caring about free software & co, of course). Then they out of the blue banned my account, after I was a loyal and hardcore user who even reported bugs to them and suggested improvements! I now have to use discord for some things, but I use it exclusively on my phone on an alpha version from 2 years ago that still works damn, and doesn't have the horrible UI it got when I updated it once to see what was new; it's genuinely better than the newer versions while being ALPHA and years old (the only thing that sucks about it is I can't update my "About Me" because it's from before that functionality was added in, so I can see it and cringe at it but not change it. Also my status sometimes doesn't seem to actually load after opening the app sometimes, until I go to the status editor). I just hope I won't have to update when their horrible removal of discriminators finally comes around to me (pretty much my entire DM list at this point is lowercase#0000s, even accounts newer than mine, so I think I am excluded from the update as long as I don't log in on a newer client, until they manually force it to happen). Now I see their banning of wrongthink and all the other stupid things they're doing, and I gotta say, if you unironically use discord by choice in 2023, there's something wrong with you.

And they're still sitting there thinking the removal of discriminators is widely accepted by the userbase, as well as the stupid microphone button they somehow think was a smash hit of an idea. I've probably seen voice messages used like twice... we're all waiting to be able to remove it. But hey it's ok we have P2W reactions now, whoopee! I swear these ideas are created by 1 guy and it's final immediately.

These companies often only hire the best of the best and they get compensated very well. They get much higher pay on average, this is because even though these massive corporations have over 100K employees, the proportion of the profits (salary) that go to the employees is still really small. Personally I love corporate jobs, more secure, better benefits & better pay.

The unlimited sick time is a con because there’s no such thing as unlimited sick time. Instead it’s that the more sick time you take, the more they hold it against you. So in practice, at places with unlimited sick time, people take less of it, and managers form toxic attitudes around employee sick time.

It's effectively making the platform worse and it's making me wonder if there's another land of videogame and art servers I should consider jumping ship to in the next couple years.

This has to be the most truthful and honest reviews I ever saw. feeling great after discord banned my account for the wrong reason and after making a 200 word essay about exactaly what i was doing. i got a responce from a bot "we will not reinstate your account", to put is softly, I dislike discord for this reason, apperantly this happened to 5 people that were with me at the time and all got this reponce, the reason behind this is that we were working on a website and we were working out the registrar for the website and we kept posting phone numbers and ips in the chat all that belonged to servers that we own, and apperantly after testing things in vmware we got banned for "hacking", you yourself can test this theory by making a discord account and posting random ips and addresses and phone numbers and chat, and then report them to discord (you can't anymore because they removed the trust and safety option), you will get banned and you will never get your account back LIKE EVER!

simple, discord wants to be in FAANG so they begin to function like them and hire people from FAANG to obtain the same result. It's a dream for FAANG managers, they're switching to a younger company, a name who hasn't got dirt on it yet, something hip and cool, and they'll keep applying the same method to generate profit, sacrificing their workforce for more benefit, as is the FAANG norm, just like doing extra hours and work on the weekend has become a norm

"Unlimited sick days" can be a negative, depending on how management handles it. When you have limited PTO, it accrues in a measurable amount that you can see on your pay stub every two weeks, and you tend to have less resistance to using it because you have actually earned it and have a "right" to it. And, when you leave the company, you can often get paid for any PTO you earned but didn't take. However, if you have "unlimited", it basically means you don't "earn" anything, and so you have no "right" to that time. Good management won't care as much how many days you take off if you're getting work done; bad management will track every day you ask for, require you to justify it with personal, none-of-their-business information to prove you "need" it, and deny it if you use "too much" (which could be less than you might have earned under a traditional system). And, of course, when you leave the company, they owe you nothing. (Your mileage may vary; I've worked plenty of jobs where I've had no issues using "unlimited" PTO, and jobs where management was a nightmare getting access to accrued PTO.)

Its a little bit of effort, but it goes a long way. Lets put smiles on these faces in places where all they want to do is cry. Let's be the light of this anti-life world.

​@@antikommunistischaktion Yeah I have a feeling that we have very different political opinions but I've got to agree here, only providing those benefits to trans employees is a huge red flag, if you only support minorities when it's popular to do so then you aren't an inclusive employer, you're just virtue signalling. Like what benefits do they have for other groups that are often discriminated against when they're looking for work? Do older, pregnant or disabled people also get benefits when it comes to healthcare? Do parents, especially single parents, get any extra considerations? Probably not lol.

The best managers will take your work and present it as "our" work. The good managers will leave you alone and only ping you when things are on fire. The bad managers, who just got wiped out in the layoffs, are the ones who boss around wasting everyone's time.

Unlimited sick days or unlimited PTO can be a Con because generally in the tech world that means you need to ask your boss each time and they can deny it, there is no set amount you are entitled to so generally people end up taking less than if there was a number given to them. Of course it can be good if you have a lenient boss who approves your time off requests, but it completely depends on your boss. So if you get a shitty one that denies your requests all the time it's bad.

It also is more a of a formality for on-call employees, my brother for example is always on-call so no matter if it's a holiday, sick day, or a vacation, if something happens, he has to spend his time fixing it.

My experience with Discord was good for almost 8 years, then they without explanation banned and deleted my account. No email with a reason, no response from support, and the only thing I learned is that their Trust and Safety team don't know why I was disabled, but they enforced the punishment anyway. I actively fought for 30 days to get a response, and all I got was "You either broke the ToS or the Community Guidelines". Which in my eyes mean that they don't know why the system flagged me, and they don't care. I am still trying to understand what they claim I did. Why would I wake up one day and think "Lets destroy this account that is almost as old as Discord, where I have all my friends and servers"? I don't even know if my account was compromised or not, and if it was, that apparently doesn't matter. The feedback forum is almost daily seeing new threads with similar stories, users that are banned without knowing why, or getting banned because someone report them as underage even though they aren't. It isn't surprising that some of the employees feel the workplace is horrible. It is probably not very fun to be on the receiving end of angry users. I for one hope Discord is kicked down several pegs so they have to actually care about the users.

@@homelessrobot I disagree harshly with this. Unlimited sick days should be the norm. If colleagues come in sick they probably won't perform as good as normal. Then others will have to make up for them either way. Even better when they infect others as well. Then you have more people sick plus those that are sick will be sick for longer. If someone is sick they should stay at home, if they aren't they can come to work. Setting a set amount of sick days doesn't magically make people healthier.
@homelessrobot
@homelessrobot 10 ай бұрын
@@klausklebbi3772 this incorrectly supposes that the primary use of sick days is recovering from genuine illness. This can be the case if you have a limited number of sick days, and have to actually prioritize their usage for when you cannot avoid taking them. However, generally people who have no shortage of sick days will take them just to get away from work. If someone is sick they should definitely stay home. But outside of some window of 'presumptive' sick days, sick leave should require a doctors note at least. Especially in a relatively high stress work environment. Once you reach a certain threshold of 'sick teamates', the whole damn team is sick and might as well stay home. I am sure there are some organizations within which you don't need to consider the usage of sick days as defensively. But I think they are relatively rare.

Very good video, disturbing look inside the company and distressing explanation for some of their baffling product choices. Couple minor corrections: - IC stands for Individual Contributor (someone with no direct reports ie a programmer) not independent contractor. - Unlimited sick leave/PTO is indeed a con, not a pro. It can often just be a scam, especially if company culture is bad. Lots of articles on this, worth googling/reading.

Unlimited sick days / vacation days can in fact be a massive downside to a job, because they might say that the days are unlimited but you need manager approval to actually use any of them, so if such a system exists many people end up being able to take less time off than if they had a specific amount of sick leave / vacation days.

Almost all the rest of the non management staff will be having a really really bad time.
