Trust in mgmt was the highest metric at fb when I used to work there two years ago. Whatever you see outside is BS. Read his latest post to get some idea of how he communicates internally: https://www.facebook.com/4/posts/i-just-shared-this-update-on-our-year-of-efficiency-with-meta-employees-meta-is-/10115030415333981/ https://www.facebook.com/4/posts/i-just-shared-this-update-o... Also I’ll eat my hat if his bet on VR/AR is not going to pay put eventually.

I guarantee FB will never succeed in VR/AR. It’s DOA considering that he completely destroyed public trust in the past decade plus. Based on prototypes he showed last year, it’s really Oculus in name only.

VR/AR is gonna pay off eventually. It’s highly unlikely Meta will be the one leading that revolution. For one thing, people would simply not trust a Meta based VR platform, thanks primarily to the Zuck. A similar competing offering from Apple, Google, or Microsoft would crush a Meta VR/AR platform very quickly IMO, due to people’s lack of trust in Meta. Additionally, it’s not clear if any gains Meta would see would be worth the cost. There’s the headline number of tens of billions of dollars spent, but more than the absolute amount of money, the opportunity cost of those dollars not being spent on other more promising technologies, like ML/AI, which Facebook actually was THE leader in 5-10 years ago, is the big problem, and is directly a result of poor leadership.

  > For one thing, people would simply not trust a Meta based VR platform That's a very American-centric opinion, most people in the world don't care.
