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 ]

If Facebook were a car,

[ "passé" hypothétique ]

 

it just went from zero to 60 mph in six seconds.

[ "passé" hypothétique ]

 

The social networking company said Wednesday

that it had revved up its mobile advertising

from virtually nothing a year ago to 41 percent

of its total ad revenue of $1.6 billion

in the second quarter.

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?
