The bar for fiduciary misconduct is pretty high. Even $10 billion on the metaverse didn't come close to it because management could say with a straight face they believe it's the future.

Employee questions have been about 6 months ahead of what Zuckerberg says. It's going to be "return to office or else" in October.

Trust after saying this wasn't going to happen again is one thing. The other is that didn't have a few months of foresight. This isn't 2008. Conditions aren't significantly worse than in November, and certainly not in a

In the west, this is a big issue because feminism told women they can have it all. Turns out work doesn't leave much time for having kids. I think men actually have the same issue, though more because a lack of social safety net and ca

It'll be interesting to watch this play out. I know ByteDance has been slurping up some Meta talent, and you don't want someone you lay off to build the company that eventually kills you.

You have to have a more guarded faith in management than that, but yes, if there are layoffs 3 months after not foreseeing more layoffs management was either lying or incompetent, and it's time to GTFO.

My read was that as long as the money printing machine is running, Zuck can do whatever random side project he wants. Once it starts struggling (ad tracking, macro environment), shit gets real, and not just for the company, but also Zuck.

> Honestly, multiple rounds of cuts are a big failure of leadership. In 2008, this was more understandable. The economy was in a quick decline, and it was hard to know where things would bottom. Right now, things don't look all that

He started id when he was 21 right as tech got good enough for first-person shoorters. It launched all its famous IP in its first 5 years. He left the job of maintaining legacy IP and a declining game engine to work on something new. Ther

That's part of it, but a 4.0+ and valedictorian alone doesn't get you into an ivy.

Didn't id software lose a lot of relevancy in the early 2000s? They stopped producing new, interesting IP, and their engines lost popularity.

Rather than criticize from the sidelines, Carmack should take some of his sweet Meta money, buy the rights from them, and fund the indefinite maintenance of these things himself. Or he should start a new game company that holds to these val

I understand why you'd value it, but the problem is these people are better at delivering on self-serving, engineered OKRs than delivering value to the company. They'll look amazing on every measurable metric, but not on the metri

It's the other way around. People from poorer backgrounds are brought in for the education of the rich students. It's like a zoo. Or it's so the rich students can take advantage of your talents once you leave.
