  Because they believe they are a 10x engineer and managers hurt their productivity by getting in their way most certainly, tale as old as time.

    Arguments ad hominem are inappropriate for hackernews. Let’s leave this type of argument to Reddit or blind. I understand your perspective though. layoff announcements trigger an emotional response esp. in an uncertain economic condition. To answer the question, I think it’s worth explaining my perspective first. My company did “hidden layoffs” where an entire org was cut without any leadership announcement. Everyone freaked out, and we got no response from company. We found out about increased PIP quotas from blind. We have a mountain of technical debt hindering developer experience with no priority to address it. Zuckerberg in this article, is the exact opposite of the horrible leadership that I have dealt with on my job. This is why I feel inspired to see specific reasons for restructuring, with multi month transparent plans, and pre-determined goals. When execs preach of transparency, point them to this article from Zuck which is entirely public. This content shows a proactive culture, and is so so refreshing when my experience has been as an employee of reactive leadership.
