The second Iron Law of Bureaucracy states: "In any bureaucracy, the people devoted to the benefit of the bureaucracy itself always get in control and those dedicated to the goals that the bureaucracy is supposed to accomplish have less and less influence, and sometimes are eliminated entirely." It seems that FB, err Meta, is going to advance the turn of the breaking wheel one rotation. They may be attempting, in good faith, to eliminate the flotsam and jetsam in the bureaucracy, but are more than likely to just eliminate those least connected to internal politics. I would not be surprised if remote-only workers are the most affected, followed by the most 'heads-down' programmers. It's interesting that these steps are occurring with the recent leaving of Sandberg and I wonder if there is any connection.
