What they of course mean is that no one was buying their games on PC via the launcher, because why would they when Uplay/Ubisoft Connect is the most broken piece of shit launcher out there that can’t even auto-login despite how many times I would click the fucking “remember me” button.

Guess they all went to spend $8 on twitter

no one has shown up to tell y’all that you don’t understand crytpo / nft yet? wild times indeed.

Does anyone else feel like they could go in to a meeting with some of these higher ups, just say a long string of buzz words, and proceed to walk out with 10s of millions of dollars?

Because that’s honestly how I feel right now. Its not even con artistry at this point, these people are just desperate to lose money…

Dude, even Angel Hernandez could see this one coming. 

If it takes down Facebook, then good.

There are still a RIDICULOUS number of tech jobs out there. They may not be for “the big dogs,” but for example, my company (in Atlanta, GA) has been trying to hire new web developers for like the past six months, and for extremely generous salaries. We’ve not been able to find anyone because there’s so much demand.

The issue is how many of those people are going to find work in their chosen field when the market is suddenly flooded with not just Meta workers but Twitter too.

Agreed, taking responsibility as a multibillionaire does not look like this... He should be ashamed of himself because this does more than just hurt the 11,000 people he basically fucked over.

Especially after you look at Meta salaries and realize 4 months pay there still puts you among the highest paid people in the country.

He’s the controlling shareholder — the only way he can ever take responsibility is by losing money. Him resigning wouldn’t change the fact that he retains de facto control of the company. Facebook is Zuck’s toy to screw up or not, and everyone who works there should be crystal clear that they are placing their…

“I take full responsibility, I’m going to go to my private island and think about what I’ve done. Oh and you’re all fired”

honestly, those severance terms sound pretty sweet. I could make that 4 months pay last for 6, easily. I’d volunteer for a buyout like that. Not that it absolves Zuck for his callous idiocy or anything...

Not when most other tech companies are also laying people off and putting hiring freezes in place, including all the big dogs. Even if we aren’t technically in recession, tech companies are acting like we are. These people are fucked because Zuck is a selfish moron.

It can’t by overstated how horrible this is for the people being laid off.

A sarcastic pat on the back is still a pat on the back. I’ll take it!

Was coming here to say this. Him admitting fault while 11,000 others suffer and he will take no hit to his life at all losing that much money is honestly tactless. When one makes 20 million in other endeavors but 11,000 people lose, what keeps that one from swallowing a shotgun. (Thanks NoFX)

Congratulations, you declared that the sun would rise and you were correct.

Everyone saw this train wreck coming lol

He’ll keep dumping billions into the metaverse money pit and we’ll see this happen again in the future. He’s the problem.
