Congratulations! You’ve Been Fired

 

APRIL 9, 2016

The New York Times

By DAN LYONS

 

AT HubSpot, the software company

where I worked for almost two years,

when you got fired, it was called “graduation.”

We all would get a cheery email from the boss saying,

“Team, just letting you know that X has graduated

and we’re all excited to see how she uses her superpowers

in her next big adventure.”

One day this happened to a friend of mine.

She was 35, had been with the company for four years,

and was told without explanation by her 28-year-old manager

that she had two weeks to get out.

On her last day, that manager organized a farewell party for her.

It was surreal, and cruel, but everyone at HubSpot acted

as if this were perfectly normal.

[ "passé" hypothétique ]

 

We were told

we wererock stars

[ passé temporel passif

suivi d'un passé temporel actif ]

 

who were “inspiring people” and “changing the world,”

but in truth we were disposable.

[ passé temporel actif ]

The social networking company said Wednesday

that it had revved up its mobile advertising

from virtually nothing a year ago to 41 percent

Has Apple Peaked?

 

September 21, 2012

The New York Times

By JOE NOCERA

 

If Steve Jobs were still alive,

[ "passé" hypothétique ]

 

would the new map application on the iPhone 5 be

such an unmitigated disaster?

Interesting question, isn’t it?
