Feeling sad today....
Talked with my sister who was sitting in her van in the driveway, struggling to go in the house after taking care of Covid patients on her shift last night. One she was caring for died.
There's still a pandemic. Don't be selfish. Consider others.

This is absolutely true and a major reason why I am a
@VMware
employee of over 11 years.
One of the other reasons I enjoy working here - It doesn't matter if I've known someone for a decade or a day, everyone I interact with is kind and ready to help in any way they can.
Whenever I start dunking on large companies for treating employees like crap, my DMs light up with a shining beacon of light as a counterexample:
@VMware

Seriously, that does more to shape my opinion of them than billions in marketing spend ever could.

That's very disappointing that people personally acted that way towards Twitter employees. Unfortunately, this is the platform where that behavior is tolerated and sometimes celebrated. It isn't surprising this extends to Twitter employees. Work on removing the hate.
