Amazon exec accidentally sends layoff email a day early. Now people know there are layoffs but now need to wait until the official date to know if they were affected.

How stressful.

Randos from FaceBook: Hi.
Me: Hi, I’m receiving a High volume of messages right now. But if you have something specific to share, let me know.
Them: Oh, I’m sorry. How’s it going?
Me: I’m busy. Did you need something?
Them: Oh, I just wanted to be your friend.

This has been the pattern with Messages there as of late, and it’s making me angry. It’s like, why should I have to come up with things to talk about with 20+ strangers in a given day? And, how’s it going is an open ended question. Not a specific share. Why is low effort engagement the new normal? Why is putting the emotional labor on someone else to make them drive an online conversation the new normal? Yes, I know I can block or restrict. And I do. That doesn’t change the pattern or the frustration. Mute one and three more like it come along.
