That's a bold claim on Jan 12th!

How long till they will rebrand themselves again?

I do not know a single person who owns any of their gear, although I do live outside the Bay Area.

Meta, like the rest of the industry, handles the strategy of layoffs badly with nondeterministic multiple rounds and chasing the behaviors of everyone else.

Cut once and deep, because round-after-round of half-hearted layoff uncertainty will eviscerate morale and drive away top talent.

I used to know people at RL and the average sentiment seemed to be hotter than hot shit. But it was bungling by someone in RL who shall go nameless about internal opportunity exploration I think got me laid off in retaliation by my direct line manager. Enough gots that ego sans cool to meet their professional crazy vs. hot ratio, and the ultimate unkindness is reducing folks to anti-Kantian interchangeable cogs to add 0's to billionaires' pockets.

My only partial claim of semi-coolness there was a 4 letter username (there) but otherwise I'm ancient and uncool.
