  > Why is it only getting attention now with people who managed to get hired at a FAANG? It's a good thing when corporations who treat their employees like shit get called out for their behavior. It's bad that they haven't always been called out for it in the past, but that doesn't mean that no one should be doing it now. I suppose we can ask ourselves why this case managed to get the media's attention... I suspect that this story may have gotten more people's attention because facebook/meta is a big company with lots of brand recognition, facebook/meta has a ton of money and could easily afford to treat their employees better, and because they really screwed this guy over and his situation is a worse version of what a lot of people are going through after recent layoffs so perhaps business insider thought this story would resonate with a lot of workers. Really no matter what the reason is for this story getting media attention it's a good thing that people are talking about it now! Hopefully sharing these stories and talking about these issues will bring attention to the problems outside of FAANG as well.
