    T-shirt idea: Caption reads “Are we having fun yet?” with a picture of Zuck at his most creepy and least emotive.

      If anything, a directive from the boss to have fun in the absence of extra money and time off will inspire the opposite of fun. Like being told to deal with burnout by forcing more meetings, surveys, seminars and training about burnout.

        He thinks he does. Its just, we dont find it fun to purchase entire presidencies, build private schools only for our chosen children in our backyards, and stare at Mrs Bezo’s plastic tits like they’re being reborn in flame before our very eyes.

    Desperate to recreate that startup atmosphere and stop everyone thinking about how they work for an evil data collection machine.

    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.

    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.

      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.

          I mean I think comparing Zuck to Hitler is a stretch, but also consider that Hitler would be a lot more limited if his soldiers knew what was going on and were morally concious

          But yea I do it for the money. I make over 5x the salary compared to my previous job

            Just like I block all your employer’s domains I block you. I’ve had the chance to sell out too but it’s kind of gross that you know that what you’re doing is wrong but you rationalize it with “because money.”

      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.
