If you work at Facebook it's time to seriously consider leaving to avoid damage to your own brand. Future employers are going to be scrutinizing your record and will ask you difficult questions about why you stuck by Facebook despite an overwhelming consensus that they are damaging to the global social fabric.

- ipsocannibal 6y agoSticking by Facebook now might be seen as a desirable trait in the eyes of some future employers. I'm looking at you Oracle.

- PKop 6y ago> Future employers > damaging to the global social fabric I'm skeptical there'd be any hard feelings from other global corporations, arguably doing the same thing
- kube-system 6y agoMaybe if you're in the c-suite or work in a CSR role. Nobody does this when they hire software developers.
