… don’t do this:
In a companywide town hall meeting late last month, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg defended the [personnel] cuts, arguing that the system would give remaining employees better colleagues, according to a recording of the event obtained by The Washington Post.
“I think this makes the company better. I’m not going to be apologetic for it,” he said. “And I think most people here want to work with people who are going to be better fits.” [WaPo]
Reminding employees that they’re considered fungible, which is to say interchangeable or even excess, is a great way to instill depression and ennui.
I wonder how much longer before Zuckerberg gets his own layoff notice? Facebook seems to becoming its own little desert, Metaverse has disappeared into the ether, and he’s running around firing people without asking himself why things are falling apart.
