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.

"Descent into" the main thing it's been for 20 years.

Meta employee here. People here are so entitled. I knew what I signed up for, but it seems many of my colleagues were/are oblivious

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 30 points 2 months ago (2 children)

You knew what you signed up for, but still signed up for it?

"Hmmmmm, this Adolph Hitler guy seems antisementic, and wants me to help him build an army. Welp. A job is a job....guess I'm a nazi soldier now...."

Same energy.

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

Just like I block all your employer’s domains I block you. I’ve had the chance to sell out too but it’s kind of gross that you know that what you’re doing is wrong but you rationalize it with “because money.”

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.

ICE is also offering a $50k sign-on bonus, fyi.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 months ago

That's peanuts though?

[–] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

$50k, and be the inside snitch. Too bad my knees are shit

[–] DupaCycki@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I knew what I signed up for

Rare nazi self snitch?
