Someone parlays moderate success into self-righteous opportunity to virtue signal, and is quickly hired by a progressive tech company also looking to virtue signal, in a PR blitz of standing up for the rights, of something or other.
It was just time for me to jump. I didn't really like it there anyway, and when I saw some team changes coming, I figured I could pick a couple fights, get fired, then go public and make the whole thing about how everyone was shitting on my awesome transparency. With a bit of luck, that was guaranteed to get a lot of likes and probably go viral, and I could then get into a role where I didn't have to take so much shit. People, at least, would be afraid of me. And no one would dare challenge me because I could make it look like I was the victim. Nobody would fuck with the girl who could make them look like a bunch of corrupt ass-covering asshats. So I pulled the trigger. I'm not proud of it, but a girl's gotta survive, you know. They deserved it anyway. They never appreciated how fucking awesome I was. Serves em right, don't you think? Anyway, I'm just chillin at home, going through my messages, waiting for the "we're interested in pursuing a hiring conversation" with you to come. I'll get a couple offers, play em off against each other, and go with who seems least likely to cause me trouble. Or with who I can see there's a future dramatic exit that will work for me. Man, I am so fucking brilliant.
