I typically want good things for all people, but I don’t feel bad for people who knowingly worked for an evil company when bad things happen.
Joke’s on them for not unionizing.
Some have tried. They have a long history of suppressing unionization efforts.
Full time employees are not currently unionized, although some contractors indirectly employed by Meta are. In April 2024, the NLRB ruled that Meta had unlawfully restricted employees right to organize, including “non-disparagement and confidentiality restrictions (that) prohibited former employees from raising workplace concerns with co-workers, labor organizations, or the public, preventing them from finding support when dealing with labor disputes. These restrictions would also apply even if former employees’ statements were truthful.”
Again?!

Question mark added. Adding insult to injury, they’ve been training their “replacements”. Can’t wait to see the whole enterprise go down in flames.
Who would think that a company whose site is basically a safe haven for racists and trolls at this point with no moderation would push away your average person and need to dump staff
Here in Australia, you can barely even comment on anything anymore without some tryhard being racist or abusing the government. Even worse, lots of people with criminal incitement that gets ignored
Literally saw a photo of cane toads. Some wanker commented “that’s Albo penny Wong and dan andrews”. There was no reason to be political at all
It’s just no longer fun on there. And there is no way to block all posts by people you don’t know by default from your wall

Oh noes, all the angry reacts.
Crash already.
If you think, I, we, they, or anything in between, that gives two s**** about facebook employees or meta employees.You are so wrong.
Help those evil devil Weevils suffer more and then learn from their suffering.
Its Kind of like crime and punishment go hand in hand.
Ps> leave Facebook id your still on it.
Still shit for the SW engineer job market.
That’s like saying shutting down ice is bad for the law enforcement market.
Sure, I guess, technically. But its a small price to pay to stop the wickedness of this world.
That’s funny because I don’t even work for meta and I’m also fucking miserable because of it
Burn it to the ground, metaphorically

They use the Metaverse there.
How do I keep finding new clips! It’s been 11 years since the show stopped airing!!!
underrated meme lol
And physically.
Especially physically.
Shh
I don’t mean anything bad. I just feel for the people who lost their jobs.

Is this to help them burn cash on AI a bit longer? That’s how I’m taking it.

Thats 8000 people with experience running social media that could use their knowledge and wealth to build the Fediverse and competitively reduce Meta’s monopoly.
If even a small group of them realise the agency they have, it could be damaging to Meta, and an acceptable form of growth for the Fediverse as a whole.
I’m assuming anybody that works at Meta still now must be so signed up to their horrible practices, so i don’t expect much from former Meta employees. I’d be happy to be surprised though.
8000 people who were morally bankrupt enough to work for facebook.
Thats 8000 people with experience running social media that could use their knowledge and wealth to build the Fediverse and competitively reduce Meta’s monopoly.
That’s 8000 people who would use their knowledge to monetize the Fediverse by selling bots that push agendas.
I’d imagine the people they’re letting go are the programmers and developers rather than the money people
Yeah, don’t expect much from the What can I be expected to do? I need a job crowd.
They will never sacrifice a moment of inconvenience or a dollar for any of us.
8000 people with experience running social media
Is it that hard? As a programmer, I’ve never seen anything on Faceblerk that made me go “wow! How did they do that?”
Placement of the events page is wonderfully hard. A lot of effort must have been spent making that very unidentifiable.
I guess thats a “wow! How did they do that?” Moment for me.
Seems so since no one can fucking do it.
It’s more about the money than the technology.
I don’t know, going from an almost irreplaceable social planning tool to a classified ads host is pretty remarkable. Like in the 2010s my Facebook was my social calendar. Now I can’t even be bothered to recover my account to get onto the market place to buy used crap.
8000 people used to high salaries and probably living in or around silicon valley with insane cost of living. I don’t have high hopes for them switching to working on fediverse projects…
Many of them are petite bourgeoisie sure, but I don’t think you realize how hungry so many people in tech are to work on something real and good.
What the fuck is stopping them then?
Plenty of us are out here spending our own money on our own projects not expecting millions for it. What’s their fucking excuse?
I don’t think they realize how easy it is to just walk away.
I was stuck on that treadmill for years before I realized
I think awareness of the Fediverse, or the social web, is much lower than the people involved would assume. I’d think people in tech would have a greater awareness, but maybe thats not even a true assumption.
Yeah of the people in techI’ve spoken to about the fediverse, even the ones that did know only had a surface level understanding, and didn’t seem to consider it something that was for them for whatever reason.
Yeah, i’ve had a similar experience. Even with those friends running their own servers seem to have a lack of awareness. Considering the strength of the Linux and Foss communities here i’m surprised more information hasn’t crossed over into other forums.
I don’t see them coming here en masse to help pave the future for lemmy without any monetary incentives
what’s 8000 people potentially going homeless when fuckerberg can make ANOTHER billion dollars.
8000 people destroyed the fabric of society going homeless? Well, I heard there’s quite the homeless population in San Francisco so they’ll fit right the fuck in!
But, hey, any of them want to prove me wrong and maybe dump the data that they have from working for one of the worst companies to ever exist then I’ll give them a pass.
When you put it that way, the employees should be elastic about being fired.
Meaning they’ll spring back?
