That the moderators are so unnoticeable is a testament to their skill.

We have to do heavy content moderation at work and the people requiring that moderation would test the patience of a literal saint.

I sure wish work life worked like that. Instead they say "why are we paying you? Nothing is broken", and coincidentally stuff breaks weeks after being let go.

I understand it for non-technical companies (even if by now, decades later, they should treat IT like they treat insurance... sigh), but it's baffling for a tech focused company to treat engineers like that.
