Yes, I thought this is excellent. I hope some of them will walk away with enough inside knowledge of how things work there to know how to sabotage/cripple the company in some way/s later.

I hope the ones that remain will be demoralized and disgruntled enough to sabotage/cripple the company internally as well.

Ha, true! You know, Meta is in massive debt (probably from their catastrophic WhatsApp acquisition and maintenance + the idiotic investment into the Metaverse)... I kinda wonder what might happen if the Zuck were to decide to charge FB users $1/year or something... and gradually creep it up... As disappointing as it may be, I actually think a lot of people would stay up to, like, $10 or even, $20/year...

We love a good redemption story.
