    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.

    Many employees at Meta have been working from “hot desks,” a controversial scheme involving multiple workers sharing the same desks.

    They were doing this as far back as 2020, as I recall. It was my least favorite part of going into the office because you had to reserve a desk, and you were never guaranteed the same desk on any given day.

      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.

        I do, but a lot of them are actually pretty fond memories. I hate to say it, but it was a really good job. I was also on the AR/VR team, so my experience was a bit different from that of the rest of the company.

    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.

          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

          But yea I do it for the money. I make over 5x the salary compared to my previous job

          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.
