I'm sure you guys have seen some of this
news about the massive wave of big Tech
layoffs just Google alone has laid off
over 12 000 employees one Google
engineer in particular got their layoff
message sent to her on LinkedIn while
she was on vacation and another one got
laid off while they were feeding their
baby at 4am while they were on maternity
leave very sad Amazon had even bigger
layoffs over 18
000 employees have been let go from
Amazon since November according to the
email that was sent out by their CEO
Andy jassy and it almost seems like the
rest of big Tech are jumping onto this
bandwagon it seems like they're copying
Elon musk's Playbook from when he took
over Twitter because Elon fired
something like half like between half
and two-thirds of the company but I
guess it makes sense I mean we've seen
The Tick Tock and Instagram videos from
former employees about A Day in the Life
at the Twitter office where they seem to
actually spend most of their work day
most of their time getting snacks doing
yoga drinking smoothies and just doing
everything but working and look I get
that when you do a development job
there's problems that you can get stuck
on and it can end up really being more
productive for you to just take a
20-minute break from the problem and
come back to it with a fresh mind so
that you can actually solve it
instead of just sitting there pounding
your head for an hour and not actually
finding a solution but when I watch
these videos I don't see people that are
just taking a quick break it's like
they're taking a break from a break it's
one break followed by another the whole
day is just one long break the Google
girl was probably the most karmatic
example of all of this because she had
this one video showing off her Day in
the Life at Google what it was like for
her to be working at Google one of these
really prestigious big tech jobs that
everybody wants right
but she never once showed herself
working and no I don't count the
meetings where four minutes of the
meeting is actual business that's being
discussed which let's be honest it would
be better off if it was just an email
and then the rest the 26 minutes of this
half hour meeting are people talking
about their boring Normie weekends look
you guys know how I feel about meetings
but I don't shed Too Many Tears for the
people that are posting about their day
in the life of being a laid off Google
employee because there are job
opportunities out there you can pull
yourself up and you can go and get a new
job there's agencies that are actively
recruiting like the NSA that's right
ladies and gentlemen the National
Security Agency has sent out their
talent scouts to start hiring a lot of
the furloughed big Tech employees and
considering that it's the NSA you know
the agency that's responsible for
monitoring everybody's emails they
probably knew that a lot of these
employees were going to get laid off
before they did I imagine that the
recruitment letters that are getting
sent out to some of these people say
something like hey we saw an email in
your boss's outbox and it looks like
you're going to be available for some
new employment opportunities how about
serving your country and coming to work
for the National Security Agency well
you know what they always say if you
can't make it in the private sector
you're better off going to work for the
government I wonder if we're going to
start seeing videos on Tick Tock and
Instagram well I guess just Instagram
because I think Tick Tock is banned for
government employees but you know what I
mean we're going to start seeing these
uh cell phone shot videos all on the
Normie social medias that aren't banned
for the federal employees of a day in
the life of an NSA agent oh look at me
guys I'm gonna get a smoothie and I'm
gonna go and do some yoga and then after
I eat my gluten-free salad I gotta go
mine through some metadata of some
Russian guy named Ivan so that I can
figure out exactly where his coordinates
are and then route that information to
the Drone division of the Ukrainian
military that drops the grenades in the
foxholes I can't wait for the YouTube
shorts of a bunch of secret agents in a
spin class and for some reason the spin
class instructor is also an NSA agent
that goes all right ladies let's start
kicking things up the gear and finish
these last few miles quick and strong we
just got word that the Taliban have
built a sports car
and we gotta shut that down before the
terrorists get into NASCAR
yes please protect the national sport of
burger land from the Taliban supercars
that are powered by a four-cylinder
Toyota Corolla engine and please also
protect our other national sport monster
truck Derbies from jacked up Taliban
monster trucks don't let them get any
ideas okay there's there's probably
there's probably some Toyota trucks
laying around that they could put very
big wheels on
all right now technically
the NSA doesn't just spend all of their
time scanning text messages and emails
for the word Jihad and protecting our
national Burger Sports there's another
side of the NSA which is the Central
Security Service and their job is to
provide technical support mainly
assistance with cryptography and stuff
like that to the US Military and the
Department of Defense because well you
know there's a bunch of old Boomers that
are working there that are easily
susceptible to things like Google ads
and all these other low-hanging fruit
that we see in the wild so yeah there
it's a whole department that's dedicated
to making sure that these guys are not
getting hacked and they also help
develop cryptographic standards like AES
that are used for various civilian
applications as well
but I honestly don't know
which job is going to be worse for us
you know for US citizens uh to see these
people that are laid off from Big Tech
to go into
specifically the people that are
spending all of their day doing nothing
if they take the important role you know
the CSS role of developing cryptographic
algorithms and helping to keep the
Department of Defense from getting
hacked then I want to have some
insurance that they're actually going to
work you know that they're actually
going to be doing their job and for some
reason I don't think that the best
algorithms are developed during yoga
lessons or at a smoothie bar for some
reason these just don't seem like people
that are going to be able to keep the
Department of Defense from getting
hacked and maybe it is better if in that
case that they end up being the NSA
employees that are tasked with
monitoring citizens emails listening to
all their phone calls their text
messages Gathering all that metadata you
know that good stuff because they might
just be so inept that they actually end
up doing worse at the surveillance than
the people before them
but either way the big Tech layoffs and
then people getting scooped up by the
NSA and other state departments either
way you look at it the end result is
that it's costing you the taxpayer after
all where do you think these salaries
for the FED boys come from how do you
think these NSA agents are actually
getting paid
it all comes from tax money and because
of this there is no reason for the NSA
to turn a profit I mean hell I don't
even know how the NSA would be able to
turn a profit at all except for maybe
selling intelligence to other countries
but you know what's even worse than our
tax system and the money from it that's
going to fund the NSA spying on all of
us it's the relationship that big tech
companies clearly have with these
federal agencies we already know in many
cases that Google and other companies
have public relationships with
government agencies that in certain
circumstances big Tech will help law
enforcement with catching criminals or
in some cases just automatically report
certain criminal activity to law
enforcement but people going from
working at these big tech companies to
the NSA shows that the relationship goes
much deeper you got to think that if
people are working at social media
companies and these big tech companies
that other people are voluntarily giving
a lot of their data to for free that the
NSA would be interested in getting
access to that data or perhaps even
getting insight into how the back ends
of these big Tech platforms work and I'm
talking Way Beyond social media like
with Google you have office tools okay
you have writer you've got a like a
Google version of Microsoft Excel you
know all of these Google Docs tools and
you've got Gmail of course these are
tools that just about everybody uses AWS
which again that's a platform that's
used by almost everyone so it's really
creepy from a privacy standpoint but
don't worry guys there's policies in
place to keep that kind of stuff from
happening you know there's protecting
different interests oh no once you go
from Google you have to forget
everything that you learn there and you
totally can't bring that over to your
job at the NSA and plus the federal
government they would never do something
like higher ex Google employees to
assist with their spying on the U.S
citizens no no no that's just silly
carry on with your days
