These companies are straight up the worst. Meta betted on the metaverse and people didn't like it so to cut cost they fire employees instead of maybe rolling back their dumb ideas.,(reply>), @SmokeyVibez whatever the cause, I feel sorry for those who have to do the firing. and those being fired. It's a terrible position to be in. <br>Employees paying the price of bad decisions by management - it's not the first time, and it wont be the last.  He and his board of directors have a legal obligation to deliver returns to shareholders, and can be prosecuted for breaking the rules. That's the way the system works.,(reply>), @Cereal Port I wouldn't consider what he did an industry slow down. He made a bet and lost and  instead of taking fault he fired his hardworking employees to make that money back. Inexcusable.,(reply>), @riba2233 Well, you're the one acting like a child, I'm just explaining my experiences as an employer, not defending Meta (who would defend zuckerberg?). I managed 14 people, and when we had an industry slowdown, I had to fire some people or all of us would be unemployed. I didn't do it to make myself richer. It was, as I said, terrible, and i hope I never have to do it again, but people were not really surprised it was happening, given the industry conditions at the time.,(reply>), @Cereal Port wow, ok buddy, I am sure someone like you ran a huge business /s. No wonder you are defending meta lol, I see you are a very smart adult person and not a 13yo troll who got some extra internet time today from his mommy,(reply>), @Cereal Port just as I expected. Anyone can write anything online but when it is time to prove it...
