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.
“Descent into” the main thing it’s been for 20 years.
Yea you all don’t really hate on these people enough. Il never understand that
Meta employee here. People here are so entitled. I knew what I signed up for, but it seems many of my colleagues were/are oblivious
You knew what you signed up for, but still signed up for it?
“Hmmmmm, this Adolph Hitler guy seems antisementic, and wants me to help him build an army. Welp. A job is a job…guess I’m a nazi soldier now…”
Same energy.
I mean I think comparing Zuck to Hitler is a stretch, but also consider that Hitler would be a lot more limited if his soldiers knew what was going on and were morally concious
But yea I do it for the money. I make over 5x the salary compared to my previous job
Just like I block all your employer’s domains I block you. I’ve had the chance to sell out too but it’s kind of gross that you know that what you’re doing is wrong but you rationalize it with “because money.”
Maybe he just didn’t want to work till death. The big tech companies used to pay enough that you could retire early fairly easily. Few other opportunities for that unless you’re born into wealth and connections.
Idk if they still pay the same after all the layoffs, I haven’t kept up because under Trump, the US is no longer an attractive place to work.
ICE is also offering a $50k sign-on bonus, fyi.
$50k, and be the inside snitch. Too bad my knees are shit
That’s peanuts though?
I knew what I signed up for
Rare nazi self snitch?
.ml user, so probably proud of it.

THE FUN MAY NOW RESUME
No better fun than fascist mandated fun!
Now, fun faster pleebs!
Two minute hate would be pretty fun and relaxing group excercise!
Totally thought this was an Onion headline
Yes. It (reality) just isn’t playing fair anymore.
It’s almost like the place is run by psychopaths and narcissists.
…almost?
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.Many employees at Meta have been working from “hot desks,” a controversial scheme involving multiple workers sharing the same desks.
They were doing this as far back as 2020, as I recall. It was my least favorite part of going into the office because you had to reserve a desk, and you were never guaranteed the same desk on any given day.
They only needed to do it because they made everyone working from home start coming into the office for no reason other than to assert their dominance.
They were doing it before then.
pretty hardcore! desk = money! Got any more stories to tell? Would love to have them at !DeMeta@lemmy.world
I do, but a lot of them are actually pretty fond memories. I hate to say it, but it was a really good job. I was also on the AR/VR team, so my experience was a bit different from that of the rest of the company.
Was it like a startup in the the mega corp kinda vibe? Also I wonder if you have a guess as to where all that money ($80B+?) went Meta lost there ;)
It was, yeah. A lot of the infrastructure was still standing from when it was Oculus so it felt super detached from everything else.
As for the 80B, I can confidently say that a solid chunk of that went to software licenses, believe it or not. They were spending millions a year on their on-prem GitHub Enterprise server alone, which was technically redundant because the rest of Meta had an in-house Mercurial megarepo that, surprisingly, worked really well. They may have moved off of that by now, though, since I was last employed there in 2024.
Celebrate your increased workloads peasants.
“The floggings will continue until morale improves.”
They should offer them a Music Dance Experience with Defiant Jazz.

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.
