We woke up to a new CEO and the stock down ~20%.
What the fuck is going on? They brought in the HP guy. That doesn’t feel exciting, it feels like Alex Chriss fucked up bad or no one else wanted the job. I think from what I read people are saying bonuses are 98% but this is not comforting at all. RTO also feels inevitable. I don't think it's going to be some big announcement it will just creep in team by team until people who won’t comply start getting pushed out. I don’t feel relieved. I don’t feel excited. Do you think it's time to leave?

Meta's layoffs are happening and I am scared of my future
I have joined Meta RL org recently in October and the only thing I realized is that there is no stability in the span of 3 months I have been here there have been already multiple rounds of layoffs I thought the layoffs would only affect people who were working on the metaverse or VR domain but some people from the RL side have been laid off too I really don't know if it's sustainable to be here ,I feel like I'm doing 9 9 6 now and it's still not enough #layoff #meta Related Companies Topics...
Nothing like finding out your coworker hates you on Blind
Just saw a Blind post that is very obviously about me. Calling me incapable and saying I should not be in my role. Same team, same timing, same details. Reading anonymous coworkers talk like this hits different. You start replaying meetings and Slack messages wondering who smiles in your face and types this at night. Part of me wants to ignore it. Part of me wants to overperform out of spite. And part of me is just pissed that this is how some people choose to communicate instead of saying it directly.
Offer from Meta Reality Labs, looking for honest feedback
Hi everyone, I recently received a job offer to join Meta Reality Labs. I have not worked in the Bay Area before, so I have been spending time on Blind trying to understand what working at Meta is really like. There seems to be a common view that Meta is not a great place to work, even though the compensation is strong. I am trying to understand if this applies to Meta as a whole, or only to certain orgs or teams.
Apple Cuts "Dozens" In Sales Layoff
Mainly news because Apple is well known for NOT doing layoffs, at least at a tiny fraction of the scale of its tech giant peers. So for many, โAppleโ and โlayoffsโ in the same sentence is at least worth talking about, including whether theyโre having a pivot in strategy. Like: why even layoff dozens? They probably cost very little and NOT laying them off would have avoided this press.
Sheena Nayak, Director and Head of Sanctions for Meta was fired today for cause. She was caught lying in PSC. | Tech Industry - Blind
Everyone lies in PSC, itโs called managing perception and itโs the only thing metamates are good at Well she lied about the wrong Metamates who kept receipts and lawyered up. How do you keep receipts? How do you prove your performance review was a lie? Iโm interested in knowing too how to prove youโre manager is lying about perf review. She was caught red handed lying in PSC to support BE rating and termination for multiple employees who had reported her for discrimination.
๐ฅBreaking News๐ฅ EB1 EB2 paths are being killed
Behind all the chaos created they slide in corporate gold cards at $2M. The card permanently belongs to the employer and is transferable to another employee. Whenever you have no employer giving you a gold card, you have to leave the US unless you put in your own $1M. No free permanent residency. Job switching is gonna become more difficult. For corporates it is a one time investment per headcount. And mostly that person will remain a slave for an extended time.
Punching the air for not joining Reddit 4 years ago
You should have joined Nvidia. Fuck you very much. My now wife worked at a startup in a non-tech role that rode an AI wave (not an AI startup). She left a few months before Nov 2022 and had 90 days to exercise stock options she earned. She decided not to exercise as that would equate to a massive tax bill. The startup went public. Now her stake would be around 10M at the current price.
E6 ramp up at Meta
Number one rule, if you ask questions like this of blind you need to share your TC and offer breakdowns dummy Anyways ramp up is nonexistent and others will actively avoid helping you because your success comes at their expense come PSC time. They used to excuse new hires from the PSC stack rank to give some ramp up but those parameters have been heavily tightened recently Most new hire E6โs last about a year at Meta as a result. This is well documented all over blind Good luck.
5 girlfriends that ruin every engineer’s life...(part 2 IYKYK)
Saw Nullbae's post and needed to write one of my own: PagerDuty : Psycho ex. Blows up your phone at 3am, won’t let go until you answer. Jira: The nagging wife. Infinite chores, zero love. Git: High-maintenance drama queen. One wrong move and she nukes everything. StackOverflow: The side chick. You steal from her every night, then pretend you wrote it yourself. Prod: The toxic ex. Looks fine in public, wrecks your shit the moment you relax. MATLAB: Amazon’s secret fantasy girlfriend 💀.
I spent $8k on PM interview coaching and it was the biggest scam of my life.
And don't give me the BS about having to put in the work or some shit like that. What my money got me was: 1. 12 hours of "personalized" coaching that was clearly recycled material 2. A "proprietary framework" that was just CIRCLES with different words 3. Mock interviews where she said "good job!" to everything ffs The best part? When I bombed my Meta interview, she said it was because I "didn't implement her framework correctly." Aka: your fault, not mine. I'm 8K poorer now and for what?
Shocked by meta | Tech Industry - Blind
Happened to someone on my team when I was at FB years ago. We never knew for sure what happened but given how sudden they were gone (didn't even make a goodbye post), we suspected a privacy violation
Want to get a manual car
When I was 19, I bought a 1990 Toyota Celica GT with a 5 speed manual without knowing how to drive it. Drove it to work and back home. Stalled at the light, stalled in the intersection, stalled in a parking lot. Years later I drive a BRZ manual, and even change out my own clutch, pressure plate and flywheel. You just have to learn by racking up time on the road. To answer the main question: 86/BRZ, S2000, MX-5 Miata
Got Below expectation for IC role at Meta, Can i ask for seperation package instead waiting for end of year layoff | Layoffs - Blind
Got Below expectation for IC role at Meta, Can i ask for seperation package instead waiting for end of year layoff I want to see if anyone had done this. Meta is asking their managers to put 15-20% employees to below expectation ranking which has nothing to do with their performance. PSC has turn into work attrition tool, a slippery slope. Can i ask for HR to just gave me a package since i now have a target on my back anyway. if so, anyone has done this and have suggestions ?
Meta E6 here I come!
L63 is only first level of senior, so the beginning of E5. You need to be at least L65 to be E6. Hear me out. I've been at both places. You got yourself burned out very quickly. Workload is 4x compared to Microsoft, and managers are just non-technical people managers. Many of my Microsoft fellows have left, and I'm thinking about leaving this toxic place soon.
Amazon is tracking in office hours
I’ve been hearing so many stories about Amazon, and it’s honestly crazier than I expected. These are from several people I know personally. Craziest things I’ve heard: Mandatory RTO all 5 days Leadership recently said they’re tracking the number of hours in the office, so don’t “coffee badge” because they’ll know. They specifically said this will affect perf reviews and promotions. Despite strict RTO policies and hour tracking, they don’t provide any conveniences.
