Just a reminder that a number of fb employees used to clamor on about how progressive fb was. Now let’s see how many of them stick around for fear of losing their high paying jobs.
I dont fault that really, saying good things when a company does good things is fairly normal, as is working for a company that doesnt do good things but you've got to have a job.
I think having fb on your resume would likely land you another job pretty easily. The point is, when it comes to making personal sacrifices, they aren't willing to stand up for what's right even if that's what they espouse publicly. Also, fb has been a bad actor for some time now, dating all the way back to 2008. Or at the very least, they weren't doing anything about misinformation that flooded the platform during that time and since.
At this point just look for a company that either still has DEI or explicitly asserted its place in the org. Besides kowtowing to the new admin they're painting a target on their back so they're probably not doing it out of laziness.
