This is the bare minimum.
This person worked for Facebook for just under a year taking its money while building and securing a platform/growth opportunity for white supremacy and other extremist views, and given what we know about Facebook compensation, likely did very well for that almost year.
This is a good first step, but I’m curious why Facebook’s defense/promotion of white supremacy, its support for Brett Kavanaugh, and the genocide in Myanmar, which this engineer mentioned in their resignation post, wasn’t worth quitting over two weeks ago.
Edit: referring to this tweet screenshotting the same engineer’s post about resignation.

Quoting the resigned: “Facebook, complicit in the propagation of weaponized hatred, is on the wrong side of history.”
- birdyrooster 6y agoThey drank too much of their own Kool-Aid thinking they could reform Facebook, an undemocratically governed institution. Facebook has lost a lot of great talent because of how they treat not only their customers but their employees too. Draconian performance metrics keeping top performers from getting raises, and letting people who game the system increase their pay. Because of their engagement with universities, a lot of their employees have very little experience in any other corporate environment so they don’t recognize mismanagement when they see it.
