2. Who in the heck would want to show off/broadcast that they work at Facebook in this day and age?!
- fber111throw 6y agoI would. Despite of what people say here on HN, large part of that is false (especially because there's a lot I _know_ about Facebook for real), and despite the fact I disagree with certain company policies, Facebook is net positive for the world. And a lot of people in the real world think the same. But people don't usually harass me, they usually pick someone younger and geekier.

- znpy 6y ago> 2. Who in the heck would want to show off/broadcast that they work at Facebook in this day and age?! The kind of people that regard working for a FAANG-level company as a status-symbol.
- AnonHP 6y agoI agree on threatening (which is usually about violence), but I reserve the right to berate and shame them if they’re privileged enough to be having a cushy position and great pay (and not some janitor or security guard from an outsourcing company). There is always a ladder of morality and ethics. Facebook now stands close to the bottom rung among tech companies.
- compsciphd 6y agoand how would you know if someone wearing facebook apparel isn't a janitor or a security guard? facebook contractors get a lot of the same swag. When I lived in SV, my roommate worked at FB food services and worked for whatever company they contracted for that.
