Technology

I wouldn’t work for Facebook if they tripled my current salary.

Okay, tap the breaks. Triple my salary and I'm retiring very comfortably before I hit 50. Would happily take the Zuck Bucks for that kind of cash, especially if I knew I'd be ushered into the Leisure Class ten years earlier.

Also... who else are you working for that's less toxic? Like, Fuck Zuck, but he's hardly an outlayer in the world of narcissist CEOs.

Is AI the final bubble they'll inflate? Usually some new tech gets hyped when the old tech fails. See the progression through deep learning, Blockchain, NFT. Or will they do robotics and suddenly it's robots everywhere. Maybe quantum computing.

Tbf, Tesla probably sold more cyber trucks than Horizons got users.

You do realize that the problem is that people need money? Yea, many would likely have a choice where to work but many might Not have had options.

What is needed is financial basic freedom for everyone. Countries need to sit down and figure out how to make it work because as it stands, jobs have turned into a form of slavery by design.

Why stop there? Fuck all employees of the owning class. How dare they be employed

I saw an interview with some anonymized meta employees and all of them knew they were doing fucked up stuff. Then they said they were doing it for the stocks the company give them after x years worth millions.

So yeah, fuck them.

Really depends on if it is c-suite or the cleaners tbh.

I’m not gonna say ‘Fuck wendy the cleaner who desperately took the first job available to support her sick mother’.

Fuck the brass tho, obvs.

You must be new around these parts. Facebook (and the rest of big tech) are monopolists. For the past ~26 years, the tech industry has been using illegal anticompetitive tactics to suppress competition and destroy potential competitors. The government has done nothing, because they're stupid and think "big = good".

An example is Instagram. It was a start up that was growing rapidly, and actually became a threat to Facebook. What did Facebook do? They placed a massive bid to buy the company at like 10x their actual market value. It's an offer so huge that every investor in Instagram would support the deal even if the founders were against it.

A sane government would see that as an obvious anticompetitive decision, and block the merger. Facebook should instead use that money to improve their own product and compete fairly. Obviously, that didn't happen, the merger went through, and Facebook is still the owner of Instagram. Users and the tech industry at large are worse off.

Look at TikTok's huge success. If they weren't a Chinese company, they probably would have met a similar fate. Unfortunately for Facebook, they weren't allowed to buy a Chinese company.

Which company of angels are you working for? So I know where to work next

Not just him. All the billionaire leeches please.
