7 years at a toxic workplace is tough

- kelnos 5mo agoFortunately there are many other options than "work at Meta" or "be poor".
- shimman 5mo agoI'm sorry but if you can work at Meta you can work at any other company in the US. You're clearly making a choice. Lets not forget "I'm just following orders" wasn't a valid excuse.
- whateveracct 5mo agothere's a middle ground i make good money but not FAANG. like quarter million a year + equity that is sometimes liquid for more. i do it remote and for a company that isn't so brutally antagonistic as meta. remote also means i don't commute, don't get trapped in an office for 40+ hrs/week, and can spend more time during the workday on my personal life than work itself. so i make less money in an absolute sense, but i am not in any pain or being surveilled or being bullied to work hard. and honestly i make more money per hour worked than a meta employee. so lower salary, higher effective hourly wage.
