THE FUN MAY NOW RESUME
By this point in time, after Alderaan and a couple more planets have been blown up, you should probably have figured out that being an Engineer for the Empire's Death Star makes you one of the baddies even if you're not the one pressing the red button.
I'm just here because I needed a job.

Gotta make a livong somehow. Where else can I get a job with a PhD in Weapons of Mass Destruction Engineering?
Many employees at Meta have been working from “hot desks,” a controversial scheme involving multiple workers sharing the same desks.
They were doing this as far back as 2020, as I recall. It was my least favorite part of going into the office because you had to reserve a desk, and you were never guaranteed the same desk on any given day.
pretty hardcore! desk = money! Got any more stories to tell? Would love to have them at !demeta!DeMeta@lemmy.world
No better fun than fascist mandated fun!
Now, fun faster pleebs!
Two minute hate would be pretty fun and relaxing group excercise!
"You better have fun and love your work so much that you do unpaid overtime, or else!"
“The floggings will continue until morale improves.”
"ARE WE HAVING FUN YET? ARE WE?"
"Yessir, so much fun [whimpers].
Completely nickelbacked

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.
Yea you all don't really hate on these people enough. Il never understand that
"Descent into" the main thing it's been for 20 years.

In his memo, Zuckerberg predicted that even more difficult days could be ahead for the company, despite vowing to hold off on any future layoffs for the rest of the year.
“Given the complexity of these changes, we’ve made mistakes and will almost certainly make more,” he admitted.
"I will certainly make more mistakes that you will have to pay for, but I can promise you you will probably not be laid off for at least six months."
He's just announcing the next wave of layoffs for the Christmas holidays.

Zuckerberg offered employees access to permanent desks, a symbolic gesture that unintentionally illustrated how expendable many of them had become.
IQ and wealth seem to be inversely proportional to each other.
Insulation from consequences of your decisions and distance from ordinary people creates a special kind of stupidity. Nobody with a clue is going to speak up to him, and even if they do few would hold firm when he pushes back. Everything negative he hears will be said in anger or with a sugar coating and there will be plenty of people lining up to assure him it isn't true. He's been insulated and if the whistleblowers are correct, he actively fostered his insulation. If he cared he'd read the book about his failures as a leader. But he doesn't have to care, nobody is going to make him until suddenly he very much does have to care and it's too late.

like 7 of 9 in voyager, where she alotted 1hr of FUN each day. cyborgs/androids knows best. "Hello Fellow humans, fun will now commence until it reach satisfactory parameters"- zuckerborg.
If all the employees got together and picked a special day, perhaps something symbolic like the the 4th of july, and picked their favorite command to run perhaps rm -rf /. That sort of team building is great for moral and it also benefits society.
