    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.”

        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.

      he means he will likely force layoffs on the already “skeleton crewed” staff in the future anyways.

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

    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.

          Maybe he just didn’t want to work till death. The big tech companies used to pay enough that you could retire early fairly easily. Few other opportunities for that unless you’re born into wealth and connections.

          Idk if they still pay the same after all the layoffs, I haven’t kept up because under Trump, the US is no longer an attractive place to work.

          I mean I think comparing Zuck to Hitler is a stretch, but also consider that Hitler would be a lot more limited if his soldiers knew what was going on and were morally concious

    If all the employees got together and picked a special day, perhaps something symbolic like the the 4th of july, and picked their favorite command to run perhaps rm -rf /. That sort of team building is great for moral and it also benefits society.
