And it’s getting worse. Somebody told me their team at Big Tech used to have a mini cupcake party when people hit a tenure milestone like 5 year, 10, etc.

Along with layoffs the company killed the cupcake budget. (Mind you the stock is sky high and they’re raking in cash.)

If a company doesn’t think your decade of commitment to making them money merits a fucking cupcake, it goes without saying you’ll get screwed on comp.
