Just a shout out to all you who might be at a company like this.

If your company hasn't figured out user privacy yet (Facebook hasn't), you might want to look for the exit.

If your company treats you badly, look for the exit.

If your company treats you like you are expendable, you are.

If your company treats users like they are replaceable, they are - and when they have burned out all the users, the company will catch fire and sink.



Also, if your company treats what many (probably not most on here) people would consider to be private details of your employment contract financials like an asset to be sold/ another piece of data to monitize... send a GDPR type request to HR. Then look for exit. Or just treat them similarly, and discretely monitize every piece of information you've gained from the relationship that they would expect, but not mandate, you to keep quite about.

If you are not aware, here's where most of your Equifax data that's been leaked online comes from, send in a request: https://www.theworknumber.com/Employees/DataReport/
