I was wrong they had 87,000 employees before layoffs. And now have laid off 11,000.

Company is even more massive than I thought.

2019- 44,942 employees
2020- 58,604 employees
2021- 71,970 employees
2022- 87,314 employees

So they doubled over the pandemic

I am not "parroting corporate speak", I am denouncing your generic nonsense.

This lady made $26.5 million last year and there is no indication she is leaving because of pay.

FB is literally at the top when it comes to pay or investment.

You are just repeating nonsense about investing instead of cutting costs. While FB is investing and trying to get back to their pre pandemic efficiency levels.

A company with 72 K employees has a median salary of 240K usd (not including similarly highly paid contractors) but it is too much of a request to be as efficient as they were before they bloated during the pandemic? This is not a dickward "we are all family" company that pays its employees 40K/year while the ceo pays himself 100 million that is cutting costs so that the ceo and his buddies get an additional yatch this year.

Also btw, FB employees def don't think it is "not enough". That is literally the top reason they are there. Remember how I said that is median income. Most software engineers get paid a lot more.

So you have no substantiative response? 😂

Not to mention, outside of the very expensive benefits that FB offers, they have very high salaries. The median salary at FB including non tech roles is $240,000. No one complains when they get offered omega bucks ("I know my worth") but it is haram for the company to want more efficiency? 🤔

Reddit moment.

Meta has been practically disneyland for employees the last few years. The employee benefits alone prob cost as much as the median wage + benefits in many other companies. They def have a lot of leeway to improve on efficiency.

If mask mandates and social distancing were enforced with no lockdowns, would the situation really be that much worse?

Vaccines would have eventually come out too.

Ultimately, politicians saw other countries locking down and FOMO'd. If I rememeber the head of the swedish public health authority pretty much reached this conclusion and he and the govenrment were attacked by panicky folks.

For those of us who wfh, the impact of the lockdowns may not seem like much. But there are many people whose lives and small businesses have forever been impacted by them. I seriously don't think any government would want to lockdown over any pandemic in future after this.

This news prompted me to look up US stats. Apparently there have been 15,000 deaths in the past month. Ofc, Japan now has more deaths/capita but it just goes to show how the pandemic is still very much alive but as long we are not locked down and the media doesn't talk about it, it is like an alternate reality.

Had no lockdowns been instituted in the first place, perhaps there wouldn't have been any need for that much of an economic hit and the debt fuelled stimulus spendings.

Her being a pregnant woman should also have fuck all to do with the decision.

The commenter literally states that she was objectively the worst performer.

Some countries around the world have mandated that boosted/promoted content be properly identified as such. I think this is a great law. Apple is just a greedy monopolistic company.
