There are many videos that portray North Korea as a country of propaganda and shows for tourists. They say that everything tourists see there is fake and staged. Regardless of the truth of the above, I have similar concerns about Meta: 1. The company is overstaffed by at least 50%. People are fighting for scope or creating fake projects just to claim some influence and survive the next PSC. I know entire teams that have delivered nothing useful and yet the Ds and Ms continue to run the show. 2. The only way for managers and directors to grow is to hire more people, which affects ICs even more. Eventually they'll fire you and replace you with someone else. 3. Even the security/ride crew seems to be over hired! You can see them holding the STOP sign when someone crosses an empty private road between buildings, or opening/closing the doors of shuttle vans for passengers. Personally, I find it most annoying when they ask me what bus I am waiting for. Are other FAANG companies like this? #google #microsoft #meta #uber #amazon #netflix
Dumbass
Wtf how is this a comparison? FAANG is way way worse than North Korea.
Yes, it’s the same. Now go to North Korea.
North Korea won’t let you leave. FAANGs pip.
It’s a holiday in North Korea https://youtu.be/nrm2B0lhvYc
Overall, yes, it’s similar if you’re talking about maintaining outward appearances a.k.a. PR and Advertising. Like at Google you see videos that make it look like fun and games. Then you join and think “man this is actually kinda boring and idgaf about the food and ping pong tables”. But everyone touring the office is in complete awe. I think that’s what you’re trying to get at with the comparison. As for over staffing and trying to create work, I don’t actually see that at G. Managers and Staff Eng certainly try to create work but there’s enough to go around. Not over-staffed.

I rather me and my whole family spend the rest of our lives in a prison labor camp than get paid 300k to type some stuff on a computer 5 hours a day for alien lizard jiujitsu man
Netflix has leas than 2k engineers in the entire company, and that includes internal tooling, testing and all the studio tooling as well. We’re very small and each engineer tends to have a large scope and impact. It’s not your typical faang by far.
What in the hell are you talking about. Your cushy life at Meta is nothing like North Korea, even factoring in minor inconvenience. Can you think of any better way to communicate your ideas?
With a name like Tony Cawk, how could you allow yourself to get triggered by this 😩 Toooonnnnyyyyy 🤌
Bro I'm cringing at OP is why
