Nah, just leave. Tomorrow morning. Unless you need a few days to download a few internal documents that you believe the world should see.
If you work at Facebook, I'm reasonably certain you (including family) won't starve. By delaying you will also risk losing the courage of conviction. Because anger dulls over time.
Delaying also diminishes the effect of leaving, because the causality is no longer obvious. Imagine the power a mass exodus would have! With the significance the workforce has in this sector, it would instantly become the most significant motivation to behave ethically beyond the minimum required by law.

- hindsightRegret 8y agoTroll. It's easy to post outrage on the internet; it's much, much harder to take real action. People have mortgages, car payments and kids. It's not like those just go away when you leave a job. Most people don't have liquid savings that will last them more than 6+ months - especially with families. I don't work at Facebook, but I don't think it's fair to expect the workers to abandon ship when it's the leadership piloting their Titantic. There's also an argument to be made for fixing the problem from within that you don't even consider.
