@matigo that sounds like how May 4th turned into Star Wars Day :P
@matigo we never had a hiring freeze during this last year. If anything, we’ve committed to hiring even more people in R&D and sales. Doesn’t stop people from leaving and yes, there is probably an element of the current times causing people to re-evaluate their employment situation.
@joeo10 on a corporate account, you can control where the data flows through. On ours, China is not one of the allowed countries.

@variablepulserate doesn’t help the day job is fairly conservative in these matters, which in this case translates to not being associated with possibly spreading Covid-19.
Yeah, the mind control on this has proven to be surprisingly effective.
@matigo a lot has happened in the last 18 months. And pretty much all of it has happened over Zoom. 😬
Today was the first time I saw someone I actually work with in person in…more than a year. Not even someone on my team (most of which are in different countries), but someone on one of the local sales teams whom I interact with fairly regularly.
The sad thing is: this doesn't look to change anytime soon. Also: he's moving onto a different company in a few weeks.
@matigo If it weren't for the fact sports are popular…and a convenient way to control the masses through entertainment…even today's sports would be canceled because sports embody the antithesis of "equality of outcome."
