      Here' a Facebook counselor arguing that being shot in the head is an opportunity for growth (Nobel prize, anyone?) so Facebook's poorly-paid content moderators, who view profoundly horrific stuff all day, should also see it as a chance at post-PTSD growth. https://www.theverge.com/2019/2/25/18229714/cognizant-facebook-content-moderator-interviews-trauma-working-conditions-arizona …pic.twitter.com/37z6zl2bzB

      Meanwhile, these contractors watch people murdered and worse all day for $15 an hour (people who work at Facebook make about quarter of a million on average, iirc) and some of them have begun to buy into the conspiracies they are subjected to all day. Great way to run a company.pic.twitter.com/tO3J3ZLmmV

          The only Facebookers paid well seem to be the people who can automate and scale things (programmers/data-scientists) and those who can sell ads. The rest are expense centers and low-pay while the real costs are externalized onto societies.https://twitter.com/ItsTheBrandi/status/1100073825188892673 …

          I gotta assume Facebook doesn't pay well for counselors either.

          As someone who has combat level trauma PTSD, I'd like to volunteer as tribute to throw this bastard off the nearest very tall building. Unbelievable.

          For 2 years I worked for a non-affiliated company that reviews/catagorizies posts on various social media platforms, and in some cases I was also supposed to report 'inappropriate' posts. I saw some of the most horrible things I've ever seen doing that job.

          I was paid to help Facebook hide hate speech. Unless it actively, overtly called for violence, hate groups were placed in the 'unhelpful' category (aka less likely to show up when searched for) and if I reported them I was told I was wrong.

          lots of companies are paying like ten cents a HIT for people to classify like 30+ images at a time on mechanical turk and they don't pay out if you make errors. this isn't to say that the call center model isn't bad and traumatizing but it's not even the worst out there

          I feel so, so sorry for these people, and so sorry that their trauma is being glossed over.
