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!
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.

INITIATE TANGENTIALLY UNPREDICTABLE ACTIONS
“ARE WE HAVING FUN YET? ARE WE?”
"Yessir, so much fun [whimpers].
Completely nickelbacked
Someone is playing with the Facelift setting at character select.
“HAVE FUN, GODDAMIT! THATS A FUCKING ORDER!”
It’s time for the 5 minute musical dance experience. Call in the marching band!
RIP Andre

The beatings will continue until morale improves.
You know what the chain of command is? It’s the chain I beat you with until you follow my ruttin’ commands!
Okay Jayne…
A man walks down the street in that hat, people know he’s not afraid of anything
This was my first thought and I knew if I scrolled I’d find it.
In his memo, Zuckerberg predicted that even more difficult days could be ahead for the company, despite vowing to hold off on any future layoffs for the rest of the year.
“Given the complexity of these changes, we’ve made mistakes and will almost certainly make more,” he admitted.
“I will certainly make more mistakes that you will have to pay for, but I can promise you you will probably not be laid off for at least six months.”
vowing to hold off on any future layoffs
He didn’t say anything about holding off past layoffs. Get ready for some retroactive shitcanning.
He’s just announcing the next wave of layoffs for the Christmas holidays.
Do you honestly believe he is going to stick to the moratorium?
Id sooner believe he tasks AI-zuckerberg to lay them off.
technically I didn’t lay anyone off.
“I’m going to make a bunch of mistakes that will cost the company a lot of money and will cost many of you your jobs. But fret not, because I will experience zero consequences for this and will continue to deserve millions for being so smart and taking on all the risk.”
even more difficult days could be ahead
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
Now that’s a evil boss thing to say.
he means he will likely force layoffs on the already “skeleton crewed” staff in the future anyways.
