I worked in places like this as I am a mobile developer. This is 100% true, the devlopers in the company and some of their product managers (and I mean some only) male the whole construct of the product work. Some other folks like Designers do necessary work and then you have a slew of product related people, mostly pretty chicks who do fuck all for the product. They are allowed to film and post everything and at most they make useless suggestions like "we need more poc workers" or " lets make this a dog friendly office", like we have entire teams channels dedicated to office dogs. I have a dog, if I knew when I work overhours It'd be nice to be allowed to bring him, but mostly he'd just distract me from my work. These people are the definition of hiring for company image, I bet somewhere in the numbers these people make sense, when it drives more junior dev applicants in or when it shows the comany in a good light, but I have yet to see those numbers and I've been in charge of hiring. Mostly young devs come cause they like the products, the vast majority of them never looked at people on insta working with us

From what this video has shown, this woman doesn't know that. If you were to drop her in an environment that didn't massively provide for her, she wouldn't survive. And unfortunately these types of people exist in droves in this day and age, changing society based on a very narrow perspective.

[@transhuman6957]

I don't know what she did that warrants all that luxury. One of my first jobs was at a company that did surveys over the phone, they provided basic meals frequently. Pies, sausage rolls, pasties, pasta and cans of energy drink. I worked another job where they didn't provide food but we had ping pong tables, mini-trampolines and pinball machines in our breakroom and really nice coffee, we were also allowed to place orders at the pub next door and eat a hearty pub meal complete with a pint of beer at our desks. But staying long-term at either of these jobs required avoiding being shit-canned for not hitting quota, which happened to people frequently, if you could hit quota and make the bucks, you were spoiled. We had candy carts coming in on thursdays, there was regular BBQs where you could get a steak or a burger or a lamp chop for free and have it with a beer, if you made a sale, you could fuck off for a smoke break but all of this depended on the folks on the floor hitting their targets or exceeding them regularly, if you couldn't do that, you were shit-canned. If you were good though, you could hit 50, 60, 70, 80 dollars an hour back in 2007. I don't know how they can afford to give the sort of benefits this chick is receiving unless they are all turning over lots and lots of money for the company.

[@transhuman6957]

@UCGKdhl9Rr7WwNnRt-DXNGsA That makes it even worse, they are living like that on other people's money, every perk I ever got was directly linked to my ability to turn over far more money than they spent on me. Our normal strike-rate raised about 100,000 dollars in revenue each week per person work 9-5 for 5 days, it was standard for people with experience to double or triple that and take home crazy commissions. I don't think I saw her earn a cent to pay for any of the shit they are feeding her, the facilities and services provided. It must all be venture capital being burned for the sake of looking like a successful business.

@LTNetjak talk about an inversion

[@FilterExel]

16:51 This is where the aptly named title really shines. First, the title is a reference to John Calhoun's mouse utopia experiments where he documented that if you have a large, contained population of mice where all of their basic needs are met, after several generations, the mice's instincts go haywire. Some will obsessively fight for no apparent reason, females will nihilistically disregard their pups and some, Calhoun termed *the beautiful ones* would obsessively clean and groom themselves and not care much about anything else. Even after the mice were returned to typical housing conditions, their behavior never recovered. He termed this phenomenon "behavioral sink". My thoughts: If an animal with complex behavior is removed from any requirement to use said behavior to fulfil their basic needs long enough, then that behavior spontaneously degenerates. The selective pressure to maintain that behavior is gone, so it _can_ deteriorate. Hence, if your life is made too easy, there's no impetus to learn how things work; it's simply accepted that they do with no further thought. At some point, large elements of reality, which everyone should be familiar, become foreign concepts. This is one mode of behavioral sink in humans - the beautiful ones.

[@oliviastratton2169]

Glad I'm not the only one who caught that reference. And yeah, the mouse utopia experiments are as concerning and relevant as ever.

Relaxed selection for behaviour is absolutely real, but weren't there a number of problems with the mouse utopia experiment?

[@FilterExel]

@@BlockyBookworm A few. Not enough to explain what was observed. If I recall correctly, there were questions over how clean he was able to keep the habitat. Sometimes dead carcasses would be left there for a day or two, for example. They were cleaning the enclosures on a semi-regular basis, however, and I generally regard that as a nitpick. That is, unless there were follow up experiments that tested uncleanliness and were able to replicate "behavioral sink" simply by doing a substandard job keeping the environment clean. I don't think that was ever done, correct me if I'm wrong.

[@BlockyBookworm]

@@FilterExel I saw another comment somewhere here about how it was basically just mouse torture through terrible environmental conditions that didn't attend to the needs of the mice.

[@FilterExel]

@@BlockyBookworm There were other experiments done where mice were fed literal poison for generations (to test the effects of environmental toxins). When the poisoning was stopped, they could show that the damage from the poisons could be completely abolished in about two generations. Those experiments didn't replicate behavioral sink. Calhoun's experiments were evidently mouse torture, but the question remains "why". Ostensibly, their needs were met - unlimited food, unlimited water, adequate shelter, adequate security. Just to hammer the shelter and security point home, there were unoccupied hutches within the enclosure that the mice could have used, but suspiciously didn't - the population never came close to reaching the maximum hypothetical capacity. So, there's a fifth need that we don't know about and that need was denied in that experiment.

Real talk: I've worked in "the tech industry" and it's fucking miserable. All the shit she showed was present at my company too, all the nice free food everywhere, at all times, the stupid quiet rooms, the recreational shit you can go do, and all that. But here's the rub, it's ALL CORPORATE ROBOTICS. It all LOOKS nice, it all SMELLS nice, it all SOUNDS nice but it's fucking hell on Earth as far as what the company expects of you. They essentially are trying to cover up the abysmal work-life balance and abysmal treatment of employees who are treated like slave labor at a factory line job and they just use all the "Fresh fruit" and seemingly classy bullshit to make you feel valued and seen. But, here's the reality, I felt more valued and "seen" at my 3.5 years working at Kroger than my time with this bullshit tech company. I got so depressed working for this company that I did things I never thought I'd do, I quit my band, I in fact didn't even have time to play guitar any more yet it was the passion of my life. Tech companies don't want to hire people, they want to hire robots and they're hoping you're a stupid fucking lab rat that eats the sugar and pulls the lever for their sick profit-centered experiment. And yes, I'm in favor of capitalism, but tech companies are an extreme excess of that and yes, should be reigned in by the government. But yes, Dev, it actually IS sustainable for these companies in some ways but maybe not in the ways that are obvious. That is, these companies will work you TO DEATH. Their standards/metrics for success are incredibly high, such that, very very few people tend to be able to meet them unless they are indeed these robotic individuals who just get off on checking shit off task lists. Thus, they are pointed at and set as the example "Well so and so is doing this, why can't you guys?" and you're made to feel like the exception, the weirdo if you can't perform, like something is wrong with you. Then, you feel guilty and so there is less push back on the standards put in place. And, because these companies often do pay pretty darn good money especially for, like this girl's situation, just out of college grads who are looking for a first job that pays decently, then they just VACUUM up recent college grads. They then shower you in these little piddly bullshit treats/ company "swag" and so on, but here's the catch and how they make it profitable: they don't LET you work overtime. Thus, they push you INCREDIBLY, INCREDIBLY hard to perform within your 40hr work week but you don't get any extra money for it, not in any meaningful way unless at your Year End appraisal you get like a literal 1%-4% raise if you're a top performer. On top of that, many of these companies don't have legit linear progressions for jobs, thus, many people I worked with had been in the same position for 5 years...and it was an entry level position that any college grad (and many times non college grads) could fill easily. So therefore, these companies get away with murder. They don't pay you overtime, but get away with it by showering you with all those supposed quality of life bullshit to make it seem like "hey! we're fun! we're modern! look at this cool mug we're giving everyone! look at this breakfast we give you ever day!" meanwhile, the product they sell RAKES IN MONEY and they push you overtime to provide results and yet NONE of the workers see the benefits of those successes. And what happens when people become disillusioned and see through it? Well, they get kicked out or they leave. In fact, some of these companies have pretty high turnover rates because if there is no legit progression pathway, they just use it as a stepping stone and gtfo. In other words, these companies don't really listen to worker feedback and they don't have to. The CEO of the company I worked for was literally quoted as having said "Ok? So we'll have high turnover then" when a VP ask him what we should do as a company about the high turnover. And why can they get away with this? Well in part because of the modern/new age/woke/"we care about the wellness of our employees" lies these companies often tote. Couple this with the pretty good starting pay and you have an ENDLESS supply of fresh workers who work there for a year or two giving ALL THEIR TIME and ENERGY hoping they'll be noticed and be able to progress or have a voice and then, when many realize they don't, they just leave or get fired. And the cycle repeats, they just go to another college job fair, rake in 150 more new employees as recruits and boom. The only way you succeed at such a company is if you act like some stereotypical 80s YUPPEE who sucks your boss's dick and works like a robot and buy into every lie the company sprays all over you like the rotten piss that it is about how it values you. The question is: is it indeed sustainable? And as far as profit, it absolutely is. Systemically it all works out just fine. The food and other mirages of grandeur are FAR, FAR cheaper than having to pay employees for the legit PILES of money these companies make via their products. The only way I see it ending is if these companies have to legit fight for an employee source because their ratings have sunk so low on something like GlassDoor, IDK. But it's still to enticing for young adults who are just out of college to go work for some big flashy firm that has all these hip things that make you feel like you're on a college campus. It was legit surreal as fuck. There I was in a modern office building and I kid you not, 89 percent of all people were aged 20-30 or so and within a year, out of that 1000 or so people, about 150-200 would turnover within that year.

this sounds pretty typical and is my largely my experience working in the bigger tech companies. some smaller companies especially if they have a more niche software product, often have a better mix of age ranges and some level-headed engineers who have been around a while. these smaller companies can't afford those perks but tend to have far less fluff. you go in, you work hard, you go home. your peers are smart but not hell-bent on pulling repeated all-nighters out of fear of losing their job or missing out on the corporate ladder (it doesn't exist for most engineers).

Hey, so just to give some extra context for this, I did some digging and found that this was apparently part of a larger trend on Tik Tok I wasn't aware of, and I imagine others might not be either, the "Day in the life" trend, which mostly features exactly what this video is, a person going through what's supposedly a "normal work day" for them, typically with the intention of showing how nice, easy, and cushy their lives are. What's interesting is that this actually started out with people that worked from home, or otherwise outside of the 9-5 office experience. The point of these videos is absolutely not to demonstrate how hard they work, but rather to emphasize how cushy their daily lives are outside of the "traditional grind". The reason this one specifically seems to have gone viral is due to the fact that it flipped that bit on it's head and instead emphasized how cushy and carefree her life *within* that office structure was, which obviously came off as incredibly entitled and detached from reality (though to be fair the normal "day in the life" videos aren't really much different, as they still tend to feature privileged urban white collar workers who just happen to work from their incredibly expensive homes, often with the same quasi-socialist political opinions).

This really reminds me of something I always thought growing up lower middle class in a relatively small tourist town on lake michigan. There are those that live the idealized American life i.e. you work 9-5 in an office always have holidays off etc. Then there are the rest of us that work to make that lifestyle function. We work nonstandard hours to accomodate their schedules, we work holidays so they can enjoy theirs to the fullest. I think it was especially noticeable working in customer service in a tourist town where every customer was on vacation or staying at their second home for the summer because it felt like we were almost putting on an elaborate play for them. All of the quaint shops and restaurants in the down town area were all catered to their tastes and needs and were often too expensive for any of the locals to shop at on any consistent basis, we just ran them for tourist money. It was as though we all worked behind the scenes in reality so they could escape theirs.

This is a great take on working in the service industry in particular. I work in a supermarket and am in charge of keeping the front of house operating smoothly.
