>not only can't do anything about it, but you'll never know.
And what would you do if you are there in person? Challenge them to a duel?
This whole scenario sounds very paranoid to me.
In my experience if you treat people decently and perform OK most co-workers won't talk negatively about you behind your back. Or maybe I just never noticed...
it did have 0 impact on me though if it happened.
I dont see how one anonymous poll at a FAANG company proves that.
Just because you are doing busywork doesn't mean it's efficient.
FWIW I agree with your other points.
you are reading something into my comment that is not there - I was saying immortal life would be a meaningless existence and no panacea to the human condition.
Trying to escape death is not only futile, it is a waste of life.
You are right of course, we should all touch grass more (I.e. really live) instead of trying to "solve" the human condition.
Death is not bad - without it life makes no sense.
Being 30 forever and immortal would be my definition of hell.
Death is doing a great job, leave it alone.
I didn't know the details of the case or am a lawyer; it just seemed this was what op was talking about. but looking into it the case seems pretty clear cut.
