Go Woke, Go Broke: Zuckerberg Expected To Announce Mass Layoffs After ‘One Of The Worst Downturns’
truthtent.com ^ | 9/7/2022 | James Baker

Posted on 09/09/2022 7:33:41 AM PDT by rktman

Due to horrible financial conditions under the Biden administration, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is reportedly laying the groundwork for mass layoffs at Meta. Managers “who are unable to get on track” could lose their jobs as part of the cuts, Reuters reports.

Zuckerberg is expected to identify employee performance as the reasoning behind the layoffs. Critics have accused Facebook of “going woke” by using left-wing fact-checkers to censor conservative voices on the platform.

During a weekly employee meeting, Zuckerberg said,” If I had to bet, I’d say that this might be one of the worst downturns that we’ve seen in recent history.”

“Realistically, there are probably a bunch of people at the company who shouldn’t be here,” Zuckerberg stated.

“Part of my hope by raising expectations and having more aggressive goals, and just kind of turning up the heat a little bit, is that I think some of you might decide that this place isn’t for you, and that self-selection is OK with me,” he added.

Due to horrible financial conditions under the Biden administration.... Due to horrible financial conditions under the Biden administration..... Due to horrible financial conditions under the Biden administration..... Due to horrible financial conditions under the Biden administration.....

There, I said it. Well pasted it anyway. Must suck to be zuck. Poor thing having to let folks go under "horrible financial conditions under the Biden administration". Maybe he could re-employ them to help construct his wall on his property in Hawaii? Or did he complete that project. Maybe the "fact" checkers will go first.

“Go broke”? No, I don’t think he’s consulting bankruptcy attorneys yet.

He spent all his money on the Biden election and Zuckerberg Boxes.

Now he can spend it on attorneys.

If Facebook ultimately goes the way of MySpace then the freemarketeers will say "See, the marketplace is working."

But there are thousands of people who have been hurt financially and otherwise because of Facebook's current quasi-monopoly in the social media space.

So, yes, monopolies eventually collapse, but only after doing great harm to many people.

A frequent problem w Silicon Valley is when $$$ is good, they sometimes take their eye off the ball.
This is what sunk Sun Microsystems.
They were so concentrated on attacking Intel and Windows, they stopped improving their product.
They had a fundamental flaw in their process technology which prevented them from scaling much faster.

The people that shouldn’t be there are the customers, the users, the subscribers. Proudly Facebook free since ‘20

Leftists are incapable of acknowledging any negative impact from woke policies, or from the policies of Democrats. As the article states, their are other factors that will be blamed.

This is why Californian transplants are such a danger.

He will double down on evil things. And blame it on others’ failure to get with the program.

Cue the Downfall meme

That was my first thought, too. He spent $400 million to hire Brandon and this is his payback! I hope he loses a billion or two of his own personal fortune. Talk about a poor ROI!

Facebook already got caught cooking their books with bots and overcharging advertisers.

Elon Musk's play against Twitter likely caused Facebook to flush even more fake accounts out before getting dragged into court.

It explains why Facebook could afford to ban users; they didn't need them, not because they had so many other users but because they could generate more fake users.

https://www.globalbankingandfinance.com/are-bots-eating-your-facebook-budget/

"A report published by security firm Imperva found that bots – both good and bad – are responsible for 52% of all web traffic, while a separate study by White Ops concluded that as much as 20% of websites that serve ads are visited exclusively by fraudulent click bots."

When your income stream is based on the whims of people pushing buttons and you produce nothing real, it doesn’t take much to bring you down. Reminds me of the dot com bust circa 2001.

Like Mark Zuckerberg for example.

Awww, my heart just bleeds for Zuckerberg losing money....NOT. He can drop dead and meet his new boss, Satan, for all I care, his just reward for the misery he has inflicted on countless millions of Americans.
