Quit your job. Finding a new one shouldn't be hard if you worked at Meta before.

Employees working for evil company: "Hey evil company don't do evil stuff to us"
Evil company does evil thing to them
Employees: =O

It's always just a matter of time until you're not part of the protected in-group anymore...
Lol, imagine working at an evil empire and this being your biggest annoyance.
Came here to say this. They facilitate so much violence and bloodshed, and this is what they take issue with.
Actually so absurd yeah. Im still on their side from a workers perspective, but also they are part of the reason this shit exists...
"Hey, the massive spy machine isn't supposed to be used on us!"
Zuck is having all his keystrokes recorded too, right? Right?
Make sure the AI engineers get that data. Especially the passwords to his and the company's bank accounts. All his accounts, actually.
There's a reason why most businesses don't implement keystroke logging.
ah so it's fine when you develop software and tools to spy on your userbase and hell people who aren't even in your userbase but when it comes to the higher ups at meta using YOUR data to train YOUR AI that's too far huh?
obviously a layoff tactic. Their AI group shit the bed after they burned millions on ~~third life~~ the zuckerverse
obviously a layoff tactic.
It sure smells like it, right? But, and I'm repeating myself and others, the important part here is that, if it is a layoff tactic, it's a horrible one: as per the Dead Sea Effect, the people who leave as a result of declining workplace environment are those most able to leave, i.e the most employable staff, with each round of departures. Thus, the people whom Meta would want to stay around are the people most likely to find, get, and depart for jobs elsewhere. And while Meta are bastards, the mechanics of working in a massive org like that one score really well for skills companies want.
I wish them luck in this terrible job market, and hope they can find a supportive environment again. We can always do with more smart people working for the greater good instead of against it.
Millions? Try $77 B-b-billion.
This is a pretty misleading headline. There's no reporting in the article here about a staff protest, just the same information reporting the change as the rest of news sources, with the Register's more editorial writing style.
Hahahahahah!!!
Suck it.
Hey, I got some bad news for you: a shitload of corporations - and particularly, every one of the FAANG et al orgs - are surveilling the shit out of their workers, and this is not a new development.
I was going to say… almost any big org does this now. Tools like slack, teams, whatever… they all allow the bosses to spy on everything the worker bees do.
The fuckers have become the fuckee’s.
When you sacrifice all morals to work for tech bros so you can get more money I don't think you have much of a say in things.
Oh, cry me a river to fill that data lake. I guess all that user and non-user data they helped collect was not enough...
If a least those folks had decent sindicates, they could stand a chance resisting it 🤷♂️
