    In his memo, Zuckerberg predicted that even more difficult days could be ahead for the company, despite vowing to hold off on any future layoffs for the rest of the year.

    “Given the complexity of these changes, we’ve made mistakes and will almost certainly make more,” he admitted.

    “I will certainly make more mistakes that you will have to pay for, but I can promise you you will probably not be laid off for at least six months.”

        Do you honestly believe he is going to stick to the moratorium?

        Id sooner believe he tasks AI-zuckerberg to lay them off.

    Zuckerberg offered employees access to permanent desks, a symbolic gesture that unintentionally illustrated how expendable many of them had become.

      Insulation from consequences of your decisions and distance from ordinary people creates a special kind of stupidity. Nobody with a clue is going to speak up to him, and even if they do few would hold firm when he pushes back. Everything negative he hears will be said in anger or with a sugar coating and there will be plenty of people lining up to assure him it isn’t true. He’s been insulated and if the whistleblowers are correct, he actively fostered his insulation. If he cared he’d read the book about his failures as a leader. But he doesn’t have to care, nobody is going to make him until suddenly he very much does have to care and it’s too late.

      If anything, a directive from the boss to have fun in the absence of extra money and time off will inspire the opposite of fun. Like being told to deal with burnout by forcing more meetings, surveys, seminars and training about burnout.
