Corporate malpractice doesn't seem to register with a certain percentage of the population. Not unless they experience direct harm from it.
Perhaps because those people would do the same if they were in Zucks position.
It reminds me of a study I read a long time ago where students from certain fields had different interpretations of what's construed as lying or cheating. I remember they found that business students have a much lower bar for what's considered right and wrong.
STEM students had a much higher bar. These days I find it hard to believe tech would fit among that group anymore.
Oh but facebook is all but a tech company. It's designed and controlled by "business" idiots. All the Silicon Valley is like that. Just a shadow of what it was, back then these STEM people were running the show.
But it seems these stupid companies start to realize that now it's Product Manager all the way down, they can't produce much, beside stupid planning. Why do you think they're so hell bent in believing their slop machines can replace devs?
Yea tech got corrupted with the high software salaries. A friend of a friend is a software engineer, really smart guy, really nice and fun to be around from the few times I met him. But I lost a lot of respect for him once he told me he works for Samsung's ad department. I'm sure he makes a crap load though.
