Mark Zuckerberg Orders His Employees to Start Having Fun Again After Brutal Layoffs Culled Their Colleagues

I knew I'd find this meme here.
First thing that came to mind
I even learned what Sweet Baby Ray's was!
I quit my job after they randomly fired a ton of key people at my company. When I quit for my new job my boss was like “but whyyyyy!?”
Same.
First they blocked my promotion under a freeze. Then they did layoffs and got rid of people who I respected and had 10 years with the company. It seemed incredibly random.
I quit not long after that. Internal culture just immediately died, deadlines got stupid, everything turned into infighting for resources. From the people I know who stayed most have quit since then, it got incredibly toxic.
What sucks is your boss probably had nothing to do with the situation and is suffering just as much under increased workload. Fuck the C suite
Nah unfortunately he was choosing people too, mostly folks he didn’t like. At one point he stood behind my desk and said, “We really need to make things more efficient here.” Then gave me a long stare with a smirk.
The beatings layoffs will continue until morale improves!
Copilot: A significant amount of distressed phone calls about lost family members were recorded coming from this school in the West Bank. What action would you like to take?
Asha: bomb or BOMB?
That was my exact first thought when I read that headline.
Zuckerberg offered employees access to permanent desks, a symbolic gesture that unintentionally illustrated how expendable many of them had become.
Ouch, I worked at places like this around the '09 crunch. Fresh out of college and I was absolutely anchorless in my career, unable to find a human manager who knew my name and would recognize me day over day. This sort of shit is going in the pile of counters to "(millennials/Z/Alpha) just don't work as hard or show loyalty to their jobs anymore".
It’s so fun to pick up the slack for workloads left from mass layoffs - come on guys.
orders employees to have fun again
Yeah, sure ...... Having fun works that way /s
It might be something someone would think when they have no basis for understanding any basic human behaviors.
How is this not The Onion?
Dance, peasants! Be merry or I shall pull out the red pen again!
Poor Zuck. As a robot, he doesn't understand why his workers are so upset. They still have a job. He cut the inefficiency, placed more work on the remaining employees, and probably tells them to pick up the slack by using AI or something like that....
He also probably saved billions.
In his robot brain: "Why aren't they happy for me to succeed?"
What did robots do? Humans are the sludge at the bottom of a bedpan. Don't offload our actions onto robots and reptiles.... wait a second... you're a billionaire aren't you?
Please clap
