@elight
I hear you. Drastically #downsized my lifestyle after the bubble burst on my dream job building tech for the blind. Spent past 4 years stressed out trying to build a tech company that serves only nonprofits. After 4 yr we're only just now able to pay ourselves (2 very experienced #software #engineers) living wages in the US. Able to train and pay full time wages at bottom of #ethical range to several overseas junior developers. Things look promising, but #health suffers still.

@AdamSchmidt I just want to say, ouch. What a drag. I hated it when I was told chin up, you're lucky to still be here and we'll find a way to move ahead, even though the workload falling to you is going to require, unsustainable inhuman labor.

Rhetorically: Why it is we grant personhood to corporations when they never act like people?

wow, #fakebook is down a lot today ... perhaps they've #downsized or perhaps the #twitterexodus is affecting them too 😂

Our design group has #downsized, some by individual choice & some by corporate edict. We had nearly reached a 4:1 ratio of Devs-to-Designers, which would have opened up time to do proper UX work in support of epics. Now, we are back to ratios from 6 years ago, a stressful time trying to keep pace with weekly sprints.

This position is part #Designer, #BusinessAnalyst, and #ProductOwner. #UX is too often the tradeoff to keep in step with our #agile process. Wondering how others manage it.
