I got dinged on my latest review for not participating enough in the team channels, and I feel like I’m back in middle school. Apparently, shipping clean, bug-free code ahead of schedule takes a backseat to not dropping enough memes in the #random channel. My manager literally told me that social presence is a core metric for our remote culture this year. Is this normal? I’m so grumpy about it.
How do you deal with the feeling that your entire professional output is meaningless? I’m watching my company ignore every single one of my user-centric findings.

I know of an employer that employs asian females almost exclusively in their production area. The job is mostly soldering through hole components. The pay isn't very high. There are about 40 people working in that production area and it's 95% asian females. The odd part is there are two leads and a supervisor in that area and they are all white. It really seems like race based hiring practices.
Some of their tutorials un-intentionally? don't use the cheapest tier and don't tell you to shut off the service at the end. Also, you can make multiple instances and rack up charges. It is best to have a credit limit in place before you begin and check often.
