Facebook Recruiter Correspondence
Facebook is a massively evil company, a true net-negative to life on earth, a destroyer of personal privacy, responsible for facilitating genocides, constantly lying to its users, the most egregious example of how corruptive a monopolistic corporation can be on a society at a global level.<p>If this recruiter is to believed -- and I wouldn&#x27;t believe a goddamn word of any of it -- there are all these poor, principled people who really truly want to &quot;make Facebook better&quot; but dangnabit they just don&#x27;t have critical mass yet.<p>Bullshit. All of it.<p>This is a carefully calculated response, like all of Facebook&#x27;s responses (PR or otherwise), to make you drop your guard and stop using your critical thinking faculties. It&#x27;s a siren song, with promises of six figures and early retirement.<p>Listen... if you&#x27;re at Facebook, you&#x27;ve personally made a decision that you&#x27;d rather collect your paycheque than stop contributing to the beast that surrounds you. You&#x27;re fine with the pervasive corruption and rampant disinformation and hypocrisy because you&#x27;re making bank. Don&#x27;t be shy. Own it. Say it with a full chest. At least it would be genuine.<p>But don&#x27;t lie to yourself, or your coworkers, or anyone outside the company, and say you&#x27;re trying to &quot;make Facebook better&quot;. It can&#x27;t be made &quot;better&quot; in its current form. It will never be better. It needs to be dismantled. It needs to be put on trial. It needs to be bled dry.
