    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.”

      “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?

      vowing to hold off on any future layoffs

      He didn’t say anything about holding off past layoffs. Get ready for some retroactive shitcanning.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

      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.

        He thinks he does. Its just, we dont find it fun to purchase entire presidencies, build private schools only for our chosen children in our backyards, and stare at Mrs Bezo’s plastic tits like they’re being reborn in flame before our very eyes.

    T-shirt idea: Caption reads “Are we having fun yet?” with a picture of Zuck at his most creepy and least emotive.
