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!

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."
He's just announcing the next wave of layoffs for the Christmas holidays.

“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.”

The beatings will continue until morale improves.
I can also promise you that at the end of this, I will have a yacht and bunker, and you will probably have impostor syndrome.
Fair deal eh?

Zuckerberg offered employees access to permanent desks, a symbolic gesture that unintentionally illustrated how expendable many of them had become.
IQ and wealth seem to be inversely proportional to each other.
Jesus, I thought this comment was a joke before reading the article

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
Desperate to recreate that startup atmosphere and stop everyone thinking about how they work for an evil data collection machine.

People dont start having fun just because you specifically request it, Mark.
If anything, a directive from the boss to have fun in the absence of extra money and time off will inspire the opposite of fun. Like being told to deal with burnout by forcing more meetings, surveys, seminars and training about burnout.

By this point in time, after Alderaan and a couple more planets have been blown up, you should probably have figured out that being an Engineer for the Empire's Death Star makes you one of the baddies even if you're not the one pressing the red button.
I'm just here because I needed a job.

THE FUN MAY NOW RESUME
"The beatings will continue until morale improves"
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.
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.
What did you see on blind?
T-shirt idea: Caption reads "Are we having fun yet?" with a picture of Zuck at his most creepy and least emotive.

Meta employees don't even have their own desks?? WTF kind of clown company does that?
It's become pretty commonplace in office environments in the last few years. My company did it, and we develop medical communications literature. They just decided that, as more people were working remotely after the pandemic, it was just more efficient not to renew the lease on most of the office space, and not to bother having assigned desks if people were coming in just a few days a week at most.
Of course, my company never made it mandatory to come into the office (esp. because most people worked all over the country, nowhere near an office); I don't know Meta's situation, if they forced people to come into the office but didn't provide a permanent workspace--which is entirely what I'd expect from them--then they deserve to lose all their employees.
Celebrate your increased workloads peasants.
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.
