Meta knows this is a dumb policy. This is just a way to lay off workers without actually firing people.

Only problem is that this way you probably lose the most valuable people, which can easily find an alternative

That's built into the model. Stars carry the weight because they've shouldered the responsibility. Others will step up... The work will be subpar, but when companies do risk analysis on stuff like this, they know how much gas they can burn before needing to be competitive again. Just another reason why we need unions in the US.

Is there an initiative in the tech sector to start a union?
