I have yet to meet a good leader, coming out of Meta. I worked with several, and all of them share the. same trait - ignore the problem, till it disappears.
They're great to "work" for, but they're horrible at building a team to do work.
I, personally, attribute this to the coasting that Facebook/Meta has been doing for the last 5-7 years. Big product used to provide enough money to literally "rest and vest" for leaders. Leaders that hire people to do complete pointless work, and still have no negative impqact on the company. Now it's all catching up.
This is not the first or the last time we see this kind of situation. ATT, IBM, Microsoft - all have been there, where the money coming in from hit products covered all the ills.

That's because the good ones don't leave. More generally, I think that the last few years have been way too easy for FB/Meta (since 2015) and that's why there's so much bloat. I get why they want to flatten things, but I think they've left it very late and I'm not sure it's gonna work out for them.
