Silicon Valley Used to Be Special
A few years ago, working at big tech companies like Google, Apple, and Meta was a dream. People dreamed of high pay, free food, fun offices, and the chance to do important, creative work
Now, these companies are much bigger and more like other large companies. The focus is less on new ideas and more on rules and efficiency. It’s not as easy to suggest new things or speak up as it used to be.
They still offer good food and high salaries, but many workers say there is more pressure, more stress, and less freedom. Some feel afraid to make mistakes or speak their minds
Tech leaders are making more workplace rules, asking people to come back to the office, and sometimes letting people go.
