Canceling debt isn’t inflationary or costing tax payers
I was the only non Chinese speaking person in the team, I got Piped unfairly just to fill the quota after working endless hours and becoming a corporate slave for TikTok. The new manager that came this year, sits in china. Cant speak English even as good as a kindergarten kid. He hated me because i had become a pain in the ass for him, he had to learn basic English atleast coz of me, coz i raised the language barrier issue with HR. He eventually got me off by using PiP. They have let me down, and forcefully thrown me under the bus. My team is still in shock and shambles that I got PiPed. Finally after hearing this news today, I feel super happy. I got out early with severance, no need to pay signup bonus back, I have on-sites lined up. Staying ahead in interview process before other folks from TT enter the market. Good luck fellow ByteDancers, management is shit-realize this, especially with this ban stuff they won’t hesitate to be ruthless and will throw you under the bus. Be aware. Finally, HR org in TT is a joke, ethics is even a bigger joke. Runnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!! #tech #tiktok #biden #tiktokban
ByteDance folks offering free referrals all over blind 🤣
🤣 atleast take referral bonus before stepping out i guess
@BottomG would you like a referral? I got you!
So what’s the future of employees in the U.S. ?
No one knows 😂
Wait for court to decide if the ban is constitutional and pray 4 severance if it holds
Congratulations on ban
😎
What’s the climate like internally now they’re facing a ban?
shitty before, shitty now. actually, that's wrong. the ban is the one tiny ray of sunshine - let it burn.
I don't think it's necessarily the wrong move, but given the way our legal system works it could take a few years before this has any effect.
If the forced sale in law now says they got 9 months and potentially 12 months in total of future president extends it, how do they buy more time if the law says sell off in at most 12 months or get fucked?
They can apply for an injunction. Just because there is 1. a law, 2. an accusation, doesn't mean it will be enforced immediately. Oracle has had been having legal battle with Google over Java IP infringement for years but Google was able to keep using Java API just fine.
Hey same here got piped. Only non chinese in my team. Fuck tiktok.
And same here. Glad it’s behind me tho
I actually would love to join TT right now. If ban happens and there is mass layoff, I get to keep my 60k signon bonus and travel the world. On top of that I’m guessing they’ll give 2 month severance pay. That chunk of cash should easily fund my 5-6 months world tour. 😘 Rsu only vests after 1 year which is even better cuz no tax liability for the paper money. I could be practicing leetcode on a beach in Bali and my rent there would be 1/10th of seattle apartment.
All that except for RTO 5 is coming for bytedance. RTO 3 already in place. You are pushed out with no severance if you dont follow RTO
Severance you get = no. of months of years of service
i think TT has 9 months to sell the US arm of tiktok to the US. i figure meta, snap, or some company will snipe it up. i doubt it’ll be straight out banned https://www.entrepreneur.com/business-news/tiktok-ban-bill-becomes-law-gives-tiktok-9-months-to-sell/473173
Unless the folk in China say “fuck you Uncle Sam, you aren’t getting shit” then yea I guess there would be the “ban”
How do you separate a service arm by country? If UK or US accesses TikTok.com its still owned by one entity
@OP can you give us details on your severance package?
1month for every year you are there. I was there 1.5yr so 1.5 month
You got severance for pip? I thought only layoff gives severance.
Congrats on being banned soon
That was funny haha 🤣
