Did anyone else feel uncomfortable or weird about the Buzzfeed collab?

So I’m late to make this post but I’m surprised I didn’t see many talking about this.

If you’re not aware, when a lot of the employees left Buzzfeed they discussed the abuse they went through behind the scenes. The abuse from refusal to pay over time pay (modern slavery due to being paid under minimum wage once you add up all the extra hours of no pay), not allowed to have personal lives, purposefully pinning coworkers against each other to make them work harder, lying about promotions, assault, sexual assault,etc…. If you can imagine any type of work place abuse, there’s someone at Buzzfeed that experienced it.

Seeing them return kinda feels like when your mother would finally leave her abusive husband and you think you’re gonna be a happy family finally and then one day coming home from school and seeing your abusive dad on the couch and he’s there to stay for good.

I know the sponsor check must’ve been insane to get them back on the channel, but no amount of money could get me to go back to an abuser so I feel like they’ve set a horrible example here and to their young audience. You don’t allow people back into your life and allow them to profit off you when they’ve treated you and your friends like literal slaves or less than a dog. To make matters worse, the collab wouldn’t have even been needed if they would just fire some of their staff. Why they will do everything to salvage this business like cut shows they really care about and return to toxic environments over firing a few family and friends is insane.

I also thought, and correct me if I’m wrong, that we all stopped supporting Buzzfeed because so many employees told us to because of the abuse and unjust treatment they faced. So if employees were going to return, it feels like we destroyed a company for no reason cause they’re okay with the companies actions now. I don’t want the collab to set a precedent that Buzzfeed is a good company now and people start flocking back.

Anyways, just wanted to know if anyone else felt off put by the collaboration?

After thought I just remembered after finishing writing this: One guy was even in car accident and forced to go back to work before he could go to the hospital because if he missed the video deadline he was told he’d be fired. Buzzfeed really hated their employees for no reason at all wtf 😭🥲

TL:DR: Did you feel uncomfortable seeing the boys back on Buzzfeed?
