Guidelines:
What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and NOT drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
In Submissions
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
In Comments
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.
Miscellaneous:
We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all! We also reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time, so be sure to read them at least once a month. We also reserve the right to ignore enforcement of the guidelines at the discretion of the janitorial staff. This hole is a janny playground, participation implies enthusiastic consent to being janny abused by unstable alcoholic bullies and loser nerds who have nothing better to do than banning you for any reason or no reason whatsoever.

It's a valid point. Having diversity hires around who you are expected to do the work for while getting paid roughly the same demoralizes high performers

If your job fired 20% of people, are you sticking around

Normally no. But right now, it's possible that companies are just responding to Twitters radical idea of removing the useless ones, so I might consider this exceptional circumstances. Depends if I perceive the company struggling or not.

Yes. Not a problem if the balance sheet is still healthy, unless youre an r-slur or lazy and expect to be cut.

Depends on the context. R-slur Inc that's been haemorrhaging money for years? Yeah I'm bailing. A company with annual EBITDA measured in the tens of billions? I would probably be r-slurred to leave, Facebook have tons of time to turn it around.

The C players?
That's a bit harsh but I would still be singing with a smile on my face the whole way home if I found they were fired.
fricking leeches
get paid to make up work and then they host meeting about the work so they can put it on their performance review that they actually work (they don't)
"Here's what I'm saying. What if a DISABLED needs to use the back end admin portal custom cowtools you made? It needs to meet WGAG 2.0 just in case haha"
"Yes, yes, I understand your concerns and I know you are busy, haha but I propose calling a third meeting deciding if this is really necessary-- let's say tomorrow at 11am? hahhaahhahahhahahaha"
"You did it already? WHAT? Your enthusiasm is appreciated, HOWEVER, according to our new cybersecurity initiative every change must be screenshotted 4x times with a paragraph about before and after, signed by other devs! You must complete the QA process as outlined in-- Oh, you do have all that with the esignature from your manager too.... and you need mine? Sorry I can't review this today, I'm going to the hospital regarding my long covid. I can't in good faith sign something I haven't inspected. Hmph."
"Sorry but the WGAG 2.0 you implemented weeks ago... because this technically changed the Xthingy you're going to have to video call and screenshare with the auditors for cyber security reasons, but first, we need to schedule a meeting about the Xthingy codebase and who has access to it and when. Maybe in the future implement this in a way that doesn't change Xthingy?"
"Sorry, cooperate has paid for me to go to a week long conference for leaders in tech. You'll have to get Miranda to help you with compliance until then"
"What? You didn't know I have a engineering degree. Woah, yeah? You didn't know that? FRICKING SOYJACK! I hate him! It should have been ME going into the Leaders In Tech conference! He only has a IT degree and stupid certifications, I completed a fast track "Web engineering" degree from DeCanyon Online Polytechnic in just fourteen months! I think women can't get ahead in this business >:( , I think that's what it comes down to!"
"I've really been feeling like I don't matter here and and what I do is SO varied and important. Not everyone is mean to be a software engineer. There is such a big side to tech that no one sees. The human element? Ya know? My work is just NOT valued enough "
"Oh yeah, I'll sign whatever just forward it all. Huh? Oh, I got drafted to work on a project that's about reducing our building's carbon footprint by adjusting the thermostat 1.5 degrees higher, but we're doing risk/QOL assessment with people who may need a lower thermostat. I really want to add up how much carbon I saved, hahahahaha hahhahaah hahahahahaha"
"Anon... what do you say we go downtown after work... I like talking at you and I want to plot against soyjack and form an enemy faction so I can steal his busywork"
"Anon, your boss's boss said you've been ignoring soyjack and miranda. Your issue-response ratio is going down... your performance is gonna TANK. We're gonna have some fat Miranda come in and give us "there's no I in team" lectures man. Just keep the big dudes and their pets happy so one of us at a time can slip through and get shit done"
"Anon this work environment is so toxic, please be a thermostat and not a thermonetor! Also email me about your latest commit, I think you used a for loop that was also used in a different project I found a match for online that COULD have the Gnu GPL lisence"
"I am going to call you at noon about your team using accessible language"
