If I was Mark, I would require all company meetings to happen in the Metaverse, so I could change all their sad faces to happy smily faces.
Why have sad conversations when you can have “hey boss I think you suck and I quit! 😄😄”
In an effort to lift everybody’s spirits, Zuckerberg offered to host a company-wide hackathon an attempt at a lighthearted diversion that landed with a thud among employees.
lmao “Hey, you guys wanna work more, but ‘for fun’?”
I used to work for a company that did them. Your usual deliverables would be paused, including meetings.
It wasn’t “more”. They were great. Most of our internal tooling was prototyped that way, and that tooling was super awesome… because it directly solved the real issues we had in our processes.
My current company is “you can during the designated hackathon events, but you still have to do everything you usually would”. Which is absurd because it means that we don’t always have the option to work late for free.
Am I correct in assuming there might be some sarcasm in this post?
if you are still working at meta, you are there for the money, even tho it’s one of the most harmful companies in the world for our society and our planet. If your morale is low because some coworkers got fired, well, fuck you. You are part of the cancer of this planet, so if you all get laid off and meta is burned to the ground, I won’t be happier.
way to shift blame
Who is shifting blame here? I’m just saying that they are part of the hell, not victims. Meta is rotten to the core, and if you work there, it means you are ok with what they do, hence the lack of sympathy.
eh, you know what, fair enough!
No compassion for people working for the evil mega corps
How can their spirits be crushed when he told them to be happy?
He should ask AI what to do.
He obviously needs to lay off more people.
If he lays off all the unhappy people, happiness will go up!
Layoffs will continue until morale improves.
When they would need the spirit in order to be happy, but some of the spirit isn’t in there anymore

So, mission accomplished?
a buffet of HR-solutionism like resilience training, pulse surveys, and the dreaded team-building exercise.
Well said, and soo true! 😅
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer boss or company.

@[email protected], could you edit the post to use this link instead?
Updated. I don’t follow why yahoo link is bad but if it makes people happier
Thanks!
A big reason for me is that people can tell who the source is more easily, instead of seeing a generic Yahoo link. If someone is blocking or flagging a particular domain through their app / front-end, then it won’t work for a yahoo link.
Also while I don’t think Yahoo is doing something illegal, my gut says that these articles are harming the smaller news orgs. When Yahoo/MSN publishes the full article, the user likely doesn’t notice who the actual news org is, likely doesn’t go to the real news orgs website, the news org has a harder time building a brand / reputation, and over time they might become even more dependent on Yahoo to stay afloat. A lot of the time when I look up a story, the yahoo page ranks above the actual original source, and that feels wrong to me
One can only hope worker‘s spirits keep declining in big tech.
