Meta is very skilled at hiring smart, motivated, hard working people - then creating a perverse system of carrots and sticks to get those people to push themselves as hard as they can.
I think the only thing that really bothers me about this is that it’s all for the purpose of increasing engagement with Reels or selling digital tshirts in the metaverse.
If a company like Meta had 40,000 smart, highly motived people working themselves to death for the sake of solving climate change or homelessness, what a fucking world we might live in.

At least they have something in common with their users. Years ago, there was a Darwin Award for a man who removed the safety padding from a ski lift pole, carried it up the hill and then used it to sled back down on. He crashed into the pole he removed it from and died. So meta.
