    Meta employees not unionizing at this point is their own fault. Like I feel for you, this situation is shit and its getting worse, but thats the thing, it has only ever gotten worse. Do something about it, fight for your rights, fight for the people you are harming with the work you submit to, fight for a future that isn’t dogshit run by a literal lizard person.

    Your complaints don’t mean shit to the current govt, you need to take your fate into your own hands. Meta dies without you, you hold the power. Do you think the dude who made that company to creep on women really has the skills and ability to do your work?

    This goes for all tech. Stop complaining about your work if you aren’t going to do anything about it. You are probably the only ones capable of saving enough money to survive a job loss in this country right now, stop licking boots and complaining about the flavor.

      And to think, when I graduated from Parsons in 2016, I actually tried to apply for a job at Facebook…

      Turns out I was already blacklisted in 2015 for a paper I published at SIGGRAPH calling their asses out.

      Oops!

      I walked up to their table at the Parsons career fair, and the two recruiters just looked at me and just said “no“. Like they just fucking knew who I was by sight.

      LO to the fucking L

          Man, folks are downvoting you like this isn’t the primary way the capitalism we’re all so sick of victimizes us.

            Idk if I interviewed an ex meta guy I’d be wondering how much of my data did he sell, or was he in the department responsible for ignoring csam?

            I’m a staff engineer and routinely review resumes and conduct interviews. If you have Facebook on your resume as a position, especially any time in the last couple of years, it’s likely going to result in a No from me, dawg.

            Yeah these people aren’t choosing between homelessness and meta, they’re choosing making the most money vs slightly less money

          You can be unemployed. Its California; the weather’s fine and there’s places to park.

          ‘It was do genocide at the kiddie porn factory or be unemployed’ just makes them even more disgusting.

            Wow, I have never seen somebody express that they have never been in a truly existentially or financially dire situation so clearly as you did just there.

            Or such abject ignorance. People need safe places to live. People need food. People need water. Facebook employs people around the world. And on and on.

              I’ve been homeless. If the only way for you to live is to keep taking and ruining the lives of others, you are literally the kind of fucking monster I grew up reading stories about brave heroes killing.

              ‘The people who murder you are the hero’ is literally what we teach children, it’s like the first morality you learn besides ‘share’.

              A false dichotomy:

              Work at facebook or be unable to care for family.

                Yeah, there are other jobs you could do. They just probably won’t pay as much as Facebook. But if you are working for one of these companies it is largely by choice. Not by necessity.

                It was another guy who proposed unemployment as an alternative.

                I merely commented, that unemployment is not for everyone.

              By making victims of other peoples children. Parents. Loved ones. Hell yeah. Predators gotta predate.

              If the way you sustain your family is by taking more and more victims, they should not exist.

              You can also just rot to death under a bridge. I guess that’s equally valid to some people.
