Facebook/Meta employees, if this still isn't your cue to resign, I don't know what is.

The best clue so far is that “Meta” is likely short for “Metastasize”.

Small price to pay for 400-500k TC

  ^^^ this. For all the other comments, as an employee, would you really care? It might sound dumb, but it’s also fun, self-deprecation humor if one worked there.

    No, the point is Zuck said it straight-faced.

      lol, how else would zuck do it? (given his past, straight-faced public speaking events that don’t really change in delivery) ;)

  This is expected and a total outlier. You would obviously have to sell your soul for years to get that compensation. This is Meta's way of keeping you in to continue destroying lives.
  - granshaw 5y ago
    That's annual comp – you just need to sell your soul at one-year increments for however long you feel it's worthwhile ;)

  Lol.. that's new grad pay right now

  Will 'meta' increase their employees comp to compensate for the tanking stock? If you were making 400-500k 6 months ago, you're only making 300-400 now.

It's not clear how much this is going to stick. When Google became Alphabet the leadership came up with the idea that employees would refer to each other as "characters", but I can count on one hand the number of times I saw that in 4 years at Google. Also, Microsoft's demonym is "Microsoftie" which is no better and didn't seem to be too popular among folks I knew there.

  > Microsoft's demonym is "Microsoftie" which is no better and didn't seem to be too popular among folks I knew there. It is certainly popular enough in the Seattle area at places that are not Microsoft. There are enough ex-MSFT people floating around (really, a lot of them) that you hear it often.

These cultish identities are always fake. Nobody authentically believes in them and usually they only pretend to in order to signal dedication. I`ve only seen this work at Musk`s companies with new hires. Similar deal to most other corporate culture.

I don't work there, but if I were an employee, I think I can hold out until bunny ears become a mandatory part of my uniform. /s

  the trick is to ask for a raise every time they ask you to debase yourself in a new way

Why? Probably no one will take it seriously. Hell, people probably still call it Facebook when Mark isn't around.
