Thread regarding Illumina Inc. layoffs

The responses from @hn and @hm — who appear very likely to be the same individual attempting to avoid standing alone, are clearly victim-blaming. They demonstrate a profound lack of empathy and a fundamental misunderstanding of what it’s like to be in a compromising situation where someone feels pressured into doing something they do not want to do. If you’ve never experienced that kind of pressure, you’re fortunate but that privilege and absence of empathy, should never be used to dismiss or invalidate those who have.

This looks serious. I still remember the farewell meeting for the Senior Director of Finance Systems that I attended. The boss spent a large amount of money to implement data science in finance, which never actually helped us. Without solid evidence, nobody could ask him to resign at Illumina (- a long timer). I feel sorry for the lady if she had to go through this. We never know what somebody has to submit to in order to keep a job.

@jn Even if you're correct, why is this relevant?

@hm and @hn are clearly men...

@dc this is a clear relationsip gone bad with promises of promotions that never happened. just reading what happend leaves tons of holes especially the ma---------g in front of her "at work?" and not instantly calling it out loudly and after all of that getting in his car to "perform or-l s-x" why would you even get in the car in the first place. this is a clear relationship gone bad

theres some major holes in stories here. she willing got in the car and su-ked his di-k. if this was such an issue why would you enter the vehicle at all. also the ma---------g in front of her doesnt make any sense as any sane person would have loudly called that out. sounds more like there was a relationship with promises that were never followed through on and someone got mad.

Bad... as I remember there was a LinkedIn post from another team member in that group about a toxic culture.
