What a wild take. Up until now there were at least protections present for the platform. And what’s your message here? “Stifle your career because Zuck is a bigot”? “Accept less pay or shut up and accept abuse”?
The message is if you really care about this issue and you work there, quit.
Zuck isn’t going to back track over this unless a significant portion of his workforce withholds labor.
There are also so many other places to work that don’t have the same society destroying baggage.
Some could afford to leave, but we should encourage people to try and change things where they work. Abandoning or avoiding it isn’t the only way. I read your comment to suggest that they shouldn’t complain or try to get the policy changed back. It seems you were suggesting they should leave, even if they can’t get an equivalent job. Does that sound right?
