RIP Andre

You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I beat you with until you follow my ruttin' commands!

This was my first thought and I knew if I scrolled I'd find it.

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.”

even more difficult days could be ahead

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?

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.

vowing to hold off on any future layoffs

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

Real, these devs are the software equivalent of Lockheed Martin engineers.

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.

Do you think he knows the meaning of the word?

But it's an ORDER!! 😡😤

Such a morale boost, felt through the world 🥰

I'd honestly reconsider Facebook some day if he did.

But like... After many, many years. Systemic Evil doesn't die overnight.

Jesus, I thought this comment was a joke before reading the article

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.

I'm just here because I needed a job.

Gotta make a livong somehow. Where else can I get a job with a PhD in Weapons of Mass Destruction Engineering?

"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

Meta employee here. People here are so entitled. I knew what I signed up for, but it seems many of my colleagues were/are oblivious

Yes. It (reality) just isn't playing fair anymore.

Two minute hate would be pretty fun and relaxing group excercise!

Sorry, but I think he's creepy even at his most emotive.

Done…. well creepiest but not least emotive

Sorry, no room in the budget for pizza parties.

fun now will commence from your zuckerbot.

........almost?

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.

great reference

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.

pretty hardcore! desk = money! Got any more stories to tell? Would love to have them at !DeMeta@lemmy.world

Oh hey, it's my cake day? I had no idea.

Another forced reassignment? Fuckin' A, man!
