If all the employees got together and picked a special day, perhaps something symbolic like the the 4th of july, and picked their favorite command to run perhaps rm -rf /. That sort of team building is great for moral and it also benefits society.
Fuck 'em. This far into Meta's descent into a capitalist surveillance platform, they should know what kind of company they work for. They only find it to be a problem if they aren't "finding meaning" in the "interesting technical challenges" of turning people into data points.
"Descent into" the main thing it's been for 20 years.
Meta employee here. People here are so entitled. I knew what I signed up for, but it seems many of my colleagues were/are oblivious
You knew what you signed up for, but still signed up for it?
"Hmmmmm, this Adolph Hitler guy seems antisementic, and wants me to help him build an army. Welp. A job is a job....guess I'm a nazi soldier now...."
Same energy.
Maybe he just didn't want to work till death. The big tech companies used to pay enough that you could retire early fairly easily. Few other opportunities for that unless you're born into wealth and connections.
Idk if they still pay the same after all the layoffs, I haven't kept up because under Trump, the US is no longer an attractive place to work.
Solution is simple, learn to code. (sad trombone)
Goddamn CEO petty kings and dictators. Everyone is just a production unit to them.
The beatings will continue until moral improves.
To raise morale they will have a thing in the lobby at Meta HQ where you can pick up a Rohinga or Palestinian child and throw them at a giant velcro target on the wall. If you can stick your child to the right spot on the target, you get removed from the layoff list!
"Zuck" is able to stick those kids on the target every time -- even wearing his VR glasses, so anyone else who cant do it too is unworthy to be employed there.
Meta employees don't even have their own desks?? WTF kind of clown company does that?
It's become pretty commonplace in office environments in the last few years. My company did it, and we develop medical communications literature. They just decided that, as more people were working remotely after the pandemic, it was just more efficient not to renew the lease on most of the office space, and not to bother having assigned desks if people were coming in just a few days a week at most.
Of course, my company never made it mandatory to come into the office (esp. because most people worked all over the country, nowhere near an office); I don't know Meta's situation, if they forced people to come into the office but didn't provide a permanent workspace--which is entirely what I'd expect from them--then they deserve to lose all their employees.
Perhaps it’s time to blow Zuckerberg’s brains out
Unclear why you're being downvoted.
My company has been reducing force multiple times and did one round in a particularly shitty way. Our bonuses were the lowest ever this round despite us all having had to carry more weight. They wonder why our morale is shit.
Why aren't you having fun!? I specifically requested it!
From what I’ve seen on Blind (yeah yeah I know…) it’s an absolute shitshow over there now.
Couldn’t happen to a better company.
What did you see on blind?
(Blind is an anonymous shitposting board where people can only see the company you work for, not your name)
Zuckerberg offered employees access to permanent desks, a symbolic gesture that unintentionally illustrated how expendable many of them had become.
IQ and wealth seem to be inversely proportional to each other.
Jesus, I thought this comment was a joke before reading the article
It's almost like the place is run by psychopaths and narcissists.
........almost?
RIP Andre
In his memo, Zuckerberg predicted that even more difficult days could be ahead for the company, despite vowing to hold off on any future layoffs for the rest of the year.
“Given the complexity of these changes, we’ve made mistakes and will almost certainly make more,” he admitted.
"I will certainly make more mistakes that you will have to pay for, but I can promise you you will probably not be laid off for at least six months."
I can also promise you that at the end of this, I will have a yacht and bunker, and you will probably have impostor syndrome.
Fair deal eh?
„Many of you will be laid off but that’s a sacrifice I‘m willing to make“
I knew that someone will comment that 😂😂😂
It's because when you write assholes well, assholes can't help but deliver.
“I’m going to make a bunch of mistakes that will cost the company a lot of money and will cost many of you your jobs. But fret not, because I will experience zero consequences for this and will continue to deserve millions for being so smart and taking on all the risk.”
He's just announcing the next wave of layoffs for the Christmas holidays.
Do you honestly believe he is going to stick to the moratorium?
Id sooner believe he tasks AI-zuckerberg to lay them off.
technically I didn't lay anyone off.

I bet they would have a massive party if he hanged himself.
Such a morale boost, felt through the world 🥰
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I beat you with until you follow my ruttin' commands!

I mean the obvious solution is a pizza party no?
Sorry, no room in the budget for pizza parties.
