After years of layoffs, restructuring, and hard-charging management tactics, Meta's leaders are acknowledging a collapse in employee trust and morale.

    It’s “its”.

    Also, thou shalt not editorialise headlines.

    keep making the same fundamental error: treating his employees as if they’re not human beings deserving of respect and care.

    It’s not just Meta. It’s capitalism driven by financialization with sociopaths at the helm. It’s not an error. It is essential. Whatever changes they might make to increase their profits, they will not include actually caring about employees as human beings. AI might produce memos that better conceal the callous exploitation and fraudulently proclaim caring, but it doesn’t care either.

      Only note: it’s capitalism that selects for sociopaths in leadership roles.

        Maybe giving billions of $ to the guy who runs the Harvard: Hot or Not website has a net negative impact on society.

    You work for such a company and/or use its products? You’re part of the problem. You helped create the predator that will devour you.

    It’s really simple NOT to use the products. And you will also find a job elsewhere if you managed to land one there.

    Zuckerberg doesn’t really want ruthless efficiency. He wants ruthless control.

    One gets productivity from happy, well-cared-for workers. Like Bezos, he tries to micromanage them instead.

        I’ve been imagining so, like in the Star Trek episode What Are Little Girls Made Of? in which the mad doctor has ma444stered the ability of making android duplicates of people, only its revealed in the end he’s an android, himself.

    The whole point of adopting this hard-charging management style was to get employees to innovate faster and catch up to competitors like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google in the all-consuming battle over AI. Instead, Meta has been falling farther and farther behind.

    Falling behind in what exactly? The race to the bottom?

    Zuckerberg is a sociopath. Articles sanewashing him are missing the main point.

    Fear and surprise, no prob. Ruthless efficiency = pushback. Fanatical devotion to the Pope – WATCH OUT BRO.
