The NY Times Tech writers may be the biggest group of snowflakes in America. They should be embarrassed to be this silly.
NYT Tech Workers want, among other things, trigger warnings in meetings discussing events in the news. Folks, you work at the New York Times! https://t.co/bucP0wXu4e ht @austin_rief pic.twitter.com/sLUQsuGa5J

So, they want no scented products in the break room, time off when pets pass and unlimited breaks. Seriously, grow up.
This should be obvious but if you can’t handle news without a trigger warning, then you probably shouldn’t be working in the news business. Come on. https://t.co/ixj58JKLVq

It would be like first responders demanding they have advance warning to prepare for what they may see on a call. Sorry, but terrible things come with the job description.
Things Times tech employees are demanding:
— Adam Rubenstein (@RubensteinAdam) November 4, 2024
—“Unlimited break time”
—“pet bereavement leave”
—“mandatory trigger warnings in company meetings discussing events in the news” https://t.co/yiemh0tz6L
“Journalists” wanting trigger warnings… are in the wrong job. https://t.co/M05Ngc9s9K

Gonna start yelling out "trigger warning!" every morning when I walk into the office. h/t @djheakin https://t.co/VdWXGh28x0

I never received an answer on the “scented products” demand. Is this a new identity? Is this something Democrats talk about a lot? Is there a Washington Post article someone can link? https://t.co/LwJJlbSxjS

Pretty sure it means people can't wear scented lotions or perfumes, but maybe they mean people can't eat any food with scents on break. Who knows?

"Oh, you feeling alright?"
"Not really. Pet died."
"Oh sorry to hear that I didn't know you had a pet."
"It's not mine. It's Peanut." https://t.co/DI1q7pcOj2
Now, that should be a national holiday, to be honest.
I can think of another way to give them "unlimited break time" https://t.co/CM8lR4HUfb

Give them some 'fun-ployment' the Democrats love to talk about.
unlimited break time?

Irate boss: Hey Joe!! Where are you? Haven’t seen you in three days! Our Exchange server got hacked and half the laptops have BSOD of unknown origin.
JOE: I’ve been on break. https://t.co/iXdIY74D9L

That was the hope. Instead, they became more annoying and brought it to the workplace.

The New York Times runs one piece on page A8 about the failures of DEI and people proclaim "woke is dead!".

This may be what they mean by chickens coming home to roost.
