I resonate with your pain very much. I've felt the same way myself, as someone who has also worked in the tech industry. It's hard to see so many talented people being exploited and burnt out, and it's even harder to feel like you're not making a difference.
Personally, I find your perspective very inspiring. The courage to speak truth to power. It's not easy to do, but it's essential. We need more people like you who are willing to stand up for what's right.
I also think you are making a difference. By writing about these issues, you're raising awareness and giving people a voice. You're also providing a space for people to connect with each other.
As I wrote in this post itself, "I appreciate each person who resonates with what I share, and builds upon it." You did just that, Ariel. So thank you for the really kind words.
As Krishnamurti said, “It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.” I simply refuse to accept the status quo as normal. Especially because most people within this system are actually really good people.
I don't write for anyone; I have long ago given up trying to figure out the audience. I just write, with really no expectation of anyone reading it. As Derrida so wisely put it, once you have written, what follows is entirely left to the reader. The property is no longer yours to safeguard or worry about. His concept of deconstruction is such a brilliant idea. So just keep writing because there is nothing else that gives you similar pleasure except reading other people's well written words.
I love this. This speaks to me immensely as I feel as I’m one of those thousands. I feel underutilized and like I’m meant to work on something more impactful.
This DOES spill into family life, especially when family life is tough which then drives more anxiety back to work.
Writing this makes a difference. If at minimum, I don’t feel alone in my struggle.
