A San Jose-based product manager states, "I feel indifferent now. There's little you can do as an ordinary employee, and everyone thinks that way, so the result is business as usual."
Employees report almost no discussion of the US elections or the TikTok ban, emphasizing that such conversations mostly happen with international colleagues or friends outside ByteDance.
Despite the legislation like the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, discussions about TikTok's fate have largely dissipated among US employees.
One employee notes, "There's almost a consensus not to talk about this thing. Very occasionally, some of us might say that maybe it's time to jump ship, but those discussions rarely come up."
