> All the talk to a flatter structure, being lean, focusing on the tech actually makes me want to work at Meta.
Do you take those claims as seriously as you do "Meta is building the future of human connection", "Year of Efficiency", and "Meta builds new ways for people to feel closer"?
This is a PR fluff message about layoffs. I wouldn't take any claims in it at raw face value.
Not sure what you are implying. They have asked many managers to start coding or leave a while ago, their title is still EM maybe will change to IC now.
I'm implying companies tend to come up with all sorts of great sounding PR fluff to explain layoffs, and that I'm generally skeptical of claims to be making orgs "flatter". If this statement specifically makes someone want to work at Facebook, I think their bullshit meter needs adjusting.
i believe they're already happening. i have one friend at meta who's manager was swapped to an IC role already, and one friend who's an EM that's in the process of swapping to an IC role
I’ve always found Meta’s self deception about where they innovate really funny. I can’t think of any social technology they brought to market which helps me feel close to those around me, besides maybe Facebook Events and Groups.
