If they're not afraid to fuck their users, don't act surprised when you work for them and one day they decided to fuck you in the ass.

Imagine ... 8000 workers at the company doing as much damage as they can. Fucking up software, deleting backups, luigiing EOs, accounting just transferring the company's finances to all of the workers.

It would be the most beautifully orchestrated chaos in centuries.

The best thing about Zuckerberg is that he has no foresight or strategy that isn't dog shit. I expect him to make wrong decision after wrong decision and to follow the sunk cost all the way down. I hope so anyway.

An already terrible company treats you terribly? Make the transition rough. Delete old notes, write bugs in scripts, delete admin accounts. Think about what makes your job work, what makes the work work, and figure out what the equivalent of monkey wrenching is for the digital age. Don't let the bastards get you down.

Not small enough.

They can cry about it to AI Zuck. I‘m sure the machine will aid with words of unmatched wisdom.

I don't get it? How can it be horrible to work for a horrible company, that has a leader with zero respect for other people?
This is probably the greatest mystery of our time!

The only way to get to the bottom of this is by giving our personal information, buying those VR glasses, and living inthe metaverse.

Should we do it? No? Oh. I guess that's what they mean by "ignorance is bliss".

Should be in Uplifting News.

Except when looking for a new job and now so are 8k other people :/

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.

We love a good redemption story.

Hmm, thanks for reminding me to subscribe to !maliciouscompliance@lemmy.world.

Nah, I have some standards

[–] oakey66@lemmy.world 17 points 5 hours ago (3 children)

What is the point of working at Facebook anymore. What are you accomplishing working for this company. It doesn’t even have much of a clear product anymore.

[–] thethrilloftime69@feddit.online 1 points 55 minutes ago* (last edited 55 minutes ago)

Must be nice to work for principles.

[–] etchinghillside@reddthat.com 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Gotta eat and new grads need their first jobs on their resume. (Assuming Meta is even hiring new grad roles.)

[–] oakey66@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Their job postings required a lot of experience when I saw them on LinkedIn and indeed. Maybe they’ve lowered their standards. I just haven’t seen it considering they pay well into the $200k-$300k range.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 7 points 5 hours ago

They could all quit en masse. That'd be pretty funny.
