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.

Do you honestly believe he is going to stick to the moratorium?
Id sooner believe he tasks AI-zuckerberg to lay them off.
technically I didn’t lay anyone off.
I can also promise you that at the end of this, I will have a yacht and bunker, and you will probably have impostor syndrome.
Fair deal eh?

he means he will likely force layoffs on the already “skeleton crewed” staff in the future anyways.

He didn’t say anything about holding off past layoffs. Get ready for some retroactive shitcanning.
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.

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.

They only needed to do it because they made everyone working from home start coming into the office for no reason other than to assert their dominance.
pretty hardcore! desk = money! Got any more stories to tell? Would love to have them at !DeMeta@lemmy.world

I do, but a lot of them are actually pretty fond memories. I hate to say it, but it was a really good job. I was also on the AR/VR team, so my experience was a bit different from that of the rest of the company.
Was it like a startup in the the mega corp kinda vibe? Also I wonder if you have a guess as to where all that money ($80B+?) went Meta lost there ;)
- 4 days
It was, yeah. A lot of the infrastructure was still standing from when it was Oculus so it felt super detached from everything else.
As for the 80B, I can confidently say that a solid chunk of that went to software licenses, believe it or not. They were spending millions a year on their on-prem GitHub Enterprise server alone, which was technically redundant because the rest of Meta had an in-house Mercurial megarepo that, surprisingly, worked really well. They may have moved off of that by now, though, since I was last employed there in 2024.
Desperate to recreate that startup atmosphere and stop everyone thinking about how they work for an evil data collection machine.
It’s almost like the place is run by psychopaths and narcissists.
Meta employees don’t even have their own desks?? WTF kind of clown company does that?

It’s become pretty commonplace in office environments in the last few years. My company did it, and we develop medical communications literature. They just decided that, as more people were working remotely after the pandemic, it was just more efficient not to renew the lease on most of the office space, and not to bother having assigned desks if people were coming in just a few days a week at most.
Of course, my company never made it mandatory to come into the office (esp. because most people worked all over the country, nowhere near an office); I don’t know Meta’s situation, if they forced people to come into the office but didn’t provide a permanent workspace–which is entirely what I’d expect from them–then they deserve to lose all their employees.
