Ask HN: Is all of FAANG like this?
This thread is seriously in need of some tough love.<p>@faang0722, you&#x27;re being a slacker, and not doing right by either your company or yourself.<p>You&#x27;re at one of the top companies in the world, and are safe from the jobs disaster that&#x27;s gripping the entire country.  Millions of people are desperate to receive $600-1600 from the government this month because they are unable to work.  Millions are putting on shitty facemasks and still showing up to work at grocery stores and warehouses and wherever, risking disease because they have no other choice.  Meanwhile you can&#x27;t be bothered to work at home on your laptop more than one day a week, because the build system and tech debt makes you sad?<p>You say the company is evidently pleased with your work and that may be true, but now you&#x27;re part of the problem.  You think the company tolerates shitty work, so you&#x27;ve decided to tolerate shitty work.  Don&#x27;t.<p>Since you don&#x27;t think what you&#x27;re doing is ethically wrong, have you told your manager that the work assigned to you is so simple that you only actually work one day a week?  Of course not.<p>So either start putting in your best work, or switch teams or company and see if it suits you better... or else accept that you&#x27;re being a freeloader and pretending to do more work than you really are.
