He can definitely fire most people at Facebook. He just doesn't because it would be like not providing a simple defense against a pawn move on a Chess board. No

He can definitely fire most people at Facebook. He just doesn't because it would be like not providing a simple defense against a pawn move on a Chess board. No point in not matching the opposition's move if you can afford it. They hire, we hire, they fire, we fire.
- BobbyTables2 1y agoSounds like his own job could be automated…
- cylemons 1y agoThe company is his property, ofc he won't fire himself
- zelphirkalt 1y agoFB would be run into the ground on day one, if he fired most people (>50%) at FB.
- falcor84 1y agoWhy? Other than on-call roles like Production Engineers, whose absence there would make the company fail within a day?
- zelphirkalt 1y agoBecause things would happen on the platform, that would be bad PR. Availability might even go down. Who knows what kind of automatized things need to be kept in check daily.
- falcor84 1y ago> things would happen on the platform, that would be bad PR They literally had (allegedly) significantly contributed to inciting a genocide [0]. PR doesn't get much worse than that, but it seems that we as a society, just don't care about these things that much any more. I really can't recall any case of any individual or organization going down because of PR issues, except for people in the entertainment industry; for some reason, we only expect good morals from our actors and comedians.

- ponector 1y agoTwitter example shows it might not be true.
- zelphirkalt 1y agoTwitter is dead now, right-wing echo hall. It basically ceased to exist in the way it did. I will admit though, that it may be possible to continue existing in other ways, if he fired >50% of the people at FB.
- aydyn 1y agoMost major companies and politicians still use twitter for communication. It sounds like you are the one in the "echo hall"?
- zelphirkalt 1y agoAnd exactly why would I care, what uninformed people at companies and what uninformed politicians do? And what does that have to do with me being in an "echo hall" (I think you mean echo chamber, btw..)? In what way is whatever platform politicians use indicative of that platform not being an echo chamber?
- nradov 1y agoIt doesn't matter whether you care or not. Your personal opinion is of no importance when it comes to mass-market social media and other horizontal platforms. The point is that a lot of politicians and business leaders will continue using X regardless of what you think of it.

- aydyn 1y agoDo you even realize that you are the one who used the phrase "echo hall"? Might be time to step back and take a breath.
