It could be quiet quitting, but I don't attribute that conspiracy to every failed software business. Maybe it's just the recent news that TikTok is eating Facebook's lunch and that their stock has tanked, or that the Metaverse is a risky bet, or it could be simply ignorance of user's needs. Facebook being a data hungry giant, you would think they have insight into how & why people use their products.
What I would suggest is writing a blog post describing all your pain points, and distribute the link to every relevant FB employee you can find on social media. You might not get everyone listening, but it will perk up a few ears.

- mattbrewsbytes 4y agoQuiet quitting sounds like a much more formal wording than morale is low and implies some sort of outright decision like a silent strike or something. I think when there are circumstances where possibly 50% or more of your total comp vanishes in a short period of time that your time at work becomes hard to focus, be motivated and deliver. Its likely similar to those that survive a layoff, its really tough to put in the effort and very distracting when morale is that low. As much as I don't like FB/Meta the company, I hope they are doing something internally to treat their people right in the short term.
