I had to deal with some guy at work trying to do some tiktok video and including me in it so I could complement his side gig or some shit (and likely only including me because women get views). And if I complain too much about being included in their grift everyone will shit on me for being a karen or for not helping him with it. Jesus fucking christ, I hate people that try to constantly plaster their face and name on everything to make money. Fuck youtubers, fuck tiktok, fuck ads, stop stealing peoples work for a quick buck ‘by doing commentary’, leave me the fuck alone
i work in a software security department at a large corporation. I HATE IT HERE.
Why would software security need (or even want) “exposure?”
the corporation has a large financial wing, why they think im a good target to include in some idiots tiktok video is your guess. i dont speak linkedin or tiktok
They probably see it as “woman in tech is rare, we show we have one”
They like this until he accidentally leaks something classified like the idiots that would upload their “Day in the life of” videos typing in pincodes and passwords and the wrong person sees it or goes back to see it an old video. Some horrible long term thinking for a software security team to allow
“You know what my side hustle ad needs? A GIRL”
“Hey, I think a girl works for me. Let’s just use her.”
“Great thanks bro!”
Shit like this makes me want to become a terrorist. I wont, but I’m starting to get why other people do.
