Why stressed? You will be getting good refreshers at low price ?
Pretty much everywhere
Why is all of blind rejoicing / fascinated about this topic. Saw a similar post about Meta employees in Seattle. These are real people with mouths to feed. This can happen to anyone especially given the current economic circumstances. Letās help out Meta employees in any way we can, be it through referrals or otherwise.
Blind is not rejoicing . It directly points to the article. If you want to see how real world people are rejoicing to this news go look at Reddit calling for tech workers to āgo back to Bangaloreā Blind is not a toxic cesspool yet.
OP look at the comments in this post Check out this post! "My metamate housing buyers are getting fked š¢ (Housing)" https://us.teamblind.com/s/Sy2wg0nY
They bought expensive houses in Los Altos, Palo Alto and Cupertino, with invested stock in their mortgage payment calculator, we will see some short sales soon
They would have diversified
I meant unvested
I do feel bad for all of you, but just remember some of us don't GET rsus, so nothing to go up or down. And don't ever get refreshers. Just a glass half full comment.
I always think of my RSUās as Monopoly money: I donāt make financial decisions based on them. In fact, I try to live as though my commission doesnāt exist as well.
This is the way
Feel a little bad for people just doing their jobs and providing for their families at meta. Feel schadenfreude because meta is a cancerous company that is a net negative on our society.
So is Google. This media rant singling out just Meta is uncalled for. I donāt see them attacking some other company as vehemently as Meta. Last time it happened, it was Uber .
"workers". š¤£š¤£š¤£ They're Metamates! They're not "Facebook workers"!
Do not click on it. sfgate copied it from BI: "According to a Business Insider report from Wednesday, Facebook workers are feeling heightened pressure to overperform or get sacked." sfgate may be the bay area's biggest news site, but they have no original content!
