All of a sudden since Meta stock has hit a ATH in this market bubble, Meta is being simped for harder than any other company. And Metamates heads have clearly gotten inflated more than their TC as well. You’re seeing more and more brag posts masquerading as something else entirely. Or just comments exuding arrogance as if Meta is suddenly a top tier company. You don’t see people from actual top tier companies like HRT, Netflix, other trading firms, OpenAI, etc making these same kinds of posts or comments. Nor can be said for Apple employees when their stock hits a new ATH nearly each year.
I dunno OP, I see more meta employees complain about how toxic it is to work there than I see them bragging. There are countless replies in threads from meta employees saying “don’t come here”, “PSC sucks”, “my mental state has taken a hit since working here”, “pay isn’t worth it”, “there’s no wlb”, etc etc.
I think Meta just played the reversed card on Google. Google is where Meta was last year in terms of morale and “prestige”
I’m inclined to agree. Meta might work for some people, but their stock price and bonus came from the blood of those laid off, managed out and mistreated by Meta due to toxic management and ridiculously high performance standards. It’s a cheap way of buying loyalty and hiding some of the legitimate issues within Meta, and I’m not a fan of the money-driven craze that’s clouded Blind as of late. It’s one thing to worship TC, but to pursue it at the cost of screwing over your fellow tech worker will never sit right with me. TC: 105K
It's just a bunch of goldfish chasing the shiniest thing on here. They'll move on to the next over-performing company in a month or two.
Every company did layoffs during the stock drop. But while most companies are being stingy on bonuses, RSU's, and offshoring jobs despite stocks bouncing back and reaching ATH, Meta rewarded their employees for the stock bounce back with a 1.5x multiplier (on top of their already top of the industry bonus structure). So yeah there's good reason to applaud the Zuck.
I agree, but Googlers have always been far more full of themselves because it was considered the perfect image - good pay, great WLB, great arranged marriage prospects for Rajesh. Meta has always been looked at as high paying but terrible WLB and a toxic reputation, so flawed, not perfect. For example I myself would be hesitant to go to Meta despite working at Amazon. I would not feel that hesitancy with Google because I know I can easily cut it there.
I think part of that too is Google is still seen as the most prestigious to non-tech people. Like most non-tech people still don’t even know Meta is a thing and it’s not just Facebook.
You wouldn’t cut it at Google if you want good pay and career growth. You would be miserable every fucking day
Just give it 2-3 weeks when PIP train at Meta will arrive. People will go back to normal work
It is wield that you care about this. I come to blind to get info on what it is like to work at companies. I don't care who is "flexing". Why do you care?
It’s just a psychological observation. People post anything on Blind regardless of what you come here for lol
I don’t know. I think meta is definitely top tier right now
Yeah it’s almost funny to me. I’ve been at Apple for 8 years and my stock has 7x-ed. And I’ve gotten decent refreshers 150-200k along the way, the last one being 250k at 150$/share. I never once was euphoric on blind. NW: 2.2M, age: 30
