    Yeah. Ghey can find another job. Though not with us. We don’t hire ex Meta employees. You have to be pretty fucked up to accept working there in the first place.

      When did you guys make that decision? Was there a particular evil action or the combination of all.

      Idk if they were evil by 2010, but certainly by 2015 they were.

        After losing hours interviewing some of them back in the days and realizing they were not software engineers, but facebook engineers, completly lost with anything else. It’s even worse with ex Google employees.

        Some of them are probably very capable, but as for those, well, they pay the price of their past decisions. Been like that for at least 10y by now.

      LOL, I once met a manager who said he wouldn’t even interview devs who had Amazon on their resume.

    “team events”

    That will sure make a perfect workplace.

    In other news, furious Meta employees think “literal” means “virtual”.

    How much do they get paid?

    Is this a rest and vest type of thing while the rest of the world has to actually work for a wage?
