No better fun than fascist mandated fun!
Now, fun faster pleebs!
Two minute hate would be pretty fun and relaxing group excercise!
By this point in time, after Alderaan and a couple more planets have been blown up, you should probably have figured out that being an Engineer for the Empire's Death Star makes you one of the baddies even if you're not the one pressing the red button.
Gotta make a livong somehow. Where else can I get a job with a PhD in Weapons of Mass Destruction Engineering?
They should offer them a Music Dance Experience with Defiant Jazz.
great reference
like 7 of 9 in voyager, where she alotted 1hr of FUN each day. cyborgs/androids knows best. "Hello Fellow humans, fun will now commence until it reach satisfactory parameters"- zuckerborg.
Feast on their entrails!
Totally thought this was an Onion headline
Yes. It (reality) just isn't playing fair anymore.
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.
Yea you all don't really hate on these people enough. Il never understand that
"Descent into" the main thing it's been for 20 years.
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.
RIP Andre
I've just started rewatching Brooklyn 99 and this is how I find out he died :(
Dude, yeah, he was so good in that role!! Loved that whole show
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
The beatings will continue until moral improves.
There's a big difference between moral and morale.
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."
vowing to hold off on any future layoffs
He didn't say anything about holding off past layoffs. Get ready for some retroactive shitcanning.
he means he will likely force layoffs on the already "skeleton crewed" staff in the future anyways.
„Many of you will be laid off but that’s a sacrifice I‘m willing to make“
Zuck Brannigan
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?
“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.

You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I beat you with until you follow my ruttin' commands!

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.
Goddamn CEO petty kings and dictators. Everyone is just a production unit to them.
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?
I bet they would have a massive party if he hanged himself.
I'd honestly reconsider Facebook some day if he did.
But like... After many, many years. Systemic Evil doesn't die overnight.

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.
Solution is simple, learn to code. (sad trombone)
