Meta employees look to ditch jobs amid stock crash

Shares of Facebook and Instagram parent Meta have plummeted more than 40% over the past six months — and some employees saddled with underwater stock options are eyeing the exits.

“Joined Meta near [all time stock high], now feeling like s—t,” one Meta employee said this week in a popular thread on Blind, a corporate message board with verified members. “What should I do?”

“Leave this crap place,” another “Metamate” responded.

“Same boat,” a third said, adding that they’re “already interviewing” at other companies.

“Duh, you’re supposed to think Meta, Metamates, and me. Ask yourself if this train of thought is good for the company,” a fourth joked. “Just kidding… it super sucks.”

Those two gifs, yours and mine, say it.

Meta is Evil.

Maybe those fools shouldn’t have joined a company that is alienating massive parts of their user/customer base with political censoring.

There is nothing I would love to see more than see that company completely fall apart. If it wasn’t for Dork Zuckerturd, Biden would never have taken office. They just wouldn’t have had enough votes even with the cheating. He would have lost like Hillary. Zuckerturd spent $450 MILLION on Biden.

Zuck was a big part of it, but almost all of Big Tech was in on it going back a long way.

Precisely. And it equally obvious that they could turn their falling stock price around just by stopping the censorship, but they won't.

I marvel at how posts which have NOTHING to do with Fauci's virus warfare (such as a friend's 'I'm feeling a little sick') are tagged with FakeBook's censor tag linking to "vaccine information." Nobody even actually reads the posts anymore (if they ever did), they have a 'bot doing the censoring now.

The business model of Facebook as with a lot of other content providers is dependent on censorship which ultimately removes more and more users.

People aren't going to change to suit Facebook's wants, especially when there are other content providers to sign up with.

Thanks for the ping FreedomPoster.

This is the Farcebook Is Evil ping list.

Facebook is a perfect example of socialism:
You get it for free but the quality sucks.
You have no say in how it works.
The guy who runs it gets rich.
There's no real competition.
You have no privacy.
And if you say one thing they don't like
they'll shut you up.

There’s something else going on at Facebook. I have an oculus two device and I can no longer log onto it. It has been three weeks trying to get them to fix it and they can’t or they won’t. If you can’t provide basic services to clients you’re losing your vision for being in business. Their tech-support is the worst in the industry. Presently I have a $300 paperweight.

Hopefully their techs are slow walking their jobs as a silent protest against censorship.

They are many ways to fight Leviathan.

It happens.

I had options on a couple thousand shares at Apple when I worked there. Didn’t cash them in as the purchase price was above the then current price of the stock.

Life goes on.

Their recruiters keep contacting me...

I told them I can’t work for a company that engages in censorship and who’s founder violated election laws.
