RIP Andre
I've just started rewatching Brooklyn 99 and this is how I find out he died :(
Dude, yeah, he was so good in that role!! Loved that whole show
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."
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.”
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?
even more difficult days could be ahead
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
„Many of you will be laid off but that’s a sacrifice I‘m willing to make“
I knew that someone will comment that 😂😂😂
It's because when you write assholes well, assholes can't help but deliver.
Now that's a evil boss thing to say.
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 means he will likely force layoffs on the already "skeleton crewed" staff in the future anyways.
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.
Insulation from consequences of your decisions and distance from ordinary people creates a special kind of stupidity. Nobody with a clue is going to speak up to him, and even if they do few would hold firm when he pushes back. Everything negative he hears will be said in anger or with a sugar coating and there will be plenty of people lining up to assure him it isn't true. He's been insulated and if the whistleblowers are correct, he actively fostered his insulation. If he cared he'd read the book about his failures as a leader. But he doesn't have to care, nobody is going to make him until suddenly he very much does have to care and it's too late.
Jesus, I thought this comment was a joke before reading the article
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.

INITIATE TANGENTIALLY UNPREDICTABLE ACTIONS
"HAVE FUN, GODDAMIT! THATS A FUCKING ORDER!"
Desperate to recreate that startup atmosphere and stop everyone thinking about how they work for an evil data collection machine.
They should offer them a Music Dance Experience with Defiant Jazz.
"The beatings will continue until morale improves"
The beatings will continue until moral improves.
There's a big difference between moral and morale.
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.
