    BODIES IN SEATS
    At Facebook’s worst-performing content moderation site in North America, one contractor has died, and others say they fear for their lives

    https://www.theverge.com/2019/6/…

    Contractors I spoke with said they would frequently come to work and find their workstation for the day in dire condition — encountering boogers, fingernails, and pubic hairs, among other items. The desks would be cleaned whenever Facebook made one of its regular planned visits to the site. At other times, employees told me, the office was filthy.

    (I don't know why this cracked me up so much, but it cracks me up to think of a tech writer having to type "boogers."

    • Awful story. I can't even imagine having to parse through disturbing content on that level, and in those conditions.mg33
