I don’t get it? How can it be horrible to work for a horrible company, that has a leader with zero respect for other people?
This is probably the greatest mystery of our time!
For those of us on the outside looking in, 99% of what we see is Zuckerberg and we hate him and we think oh well anyone who works for him must be a miserable asshole. But Meta is a big place where some ~70,000 people work, and their experience of working there is not actually 99% made up of tossing Mark’s salad. I’m sure some parts of the company are better to work for and some are worse. A lot of people there have a great experience most of the time. When I’ve visited the campus it has had high energy and it comes across as a place where a huge number of very smart, high achieving young people have been assembled all together, with more money than god has behind them to build the next big thing. To somehow turn all of that bad is actually noteworthy.
I am not an idiot that is unaware that most people working for Meta will never even meet Zuckerberg.
But if the head is rotten, it usually goes all the way down. Because that’s the hierarchy of policies and who gets hired.
Zuckerberg has zero empathy, and he will not detect and appreciate it people he hires. And this is repeated downwards.

I believe the turn of phrase is “shit rolls down hill”
Haha I didn’t know that, but that’s is very fitting.
You just passionately restated the exact misconception I described. Okay, I guess.
Just because it can look good on the surface when you visit, doesn’t mean the effect isn’t there.
You just don’t see it, until you see it.
The only way to get to the bottom of this is by giving our personal information, buying those VR glasses, and living inthe metaverse.
Should we do it? No? Oh. I guess that’s what they mean by “ignorance is bliss”.
