Layoff and PIP culture leads to tech downfall
Undisclosedbrobub The fear based culture, while it may lead to short term over-performance, treating humans like mules is deemed to fail. I think the tech workers are very specialized, high talented workforce with very low barriers to build things on their own. Why work for a company like a mule, rather be your own boss. I don't see this continue forever, as the reality kicks in..

Is the coding / engineering quality still good, despite the stress? A few years ago people on Blind were saying that we should all work at Meta at least once in our career to experience the engineering quality. Probably part koolaid, but is there some truth in there?

Dont you worry, we're not stopping here :) f man, you think it'll be org specific next or horizontally? good luck brah Org by org until we get to the end. Maybe skip Ads. Then we start again!

The truth behind Meta’s AI division layoffs
I’m seeing a lot of rumors/misinformation about the recent layoffs, and the news articles are designed to fear monger, so I thought I’d shed some light on the situation. I’ll preface this by saying that I’m not condoning the company’s actions at all nor do I think that what they did was a good thing. 1. Meta re-orged/PIP’d in total 600 employees (about 20% of their 3000 people AI division) 2. The vast majority of employees impacted are eligible to do an internal transfer to another team.
Google Just Had Another Round Of Layoffs
A lot of people on my UX team including myself were laid off. All but two researchers were laid off. It's not like there were many of us to begin with. Is it dozens or hundreds? Google's stock is at an all time high and is laying people off and people still believe we need to bring in tons of foreign workers or these companies will suffer Are they though? Bringing in foreign workers to the US, offshoring to India, or are they doing neither?
Palo Alto Networks( Worst Interview Experience)
I was contacted by recruiter for a senior principal software engineer position. Initial screening round went well. After that the recruiter kept on saying the hm is waiting to finish the other interviews to make the decision. 3 weeks went past and finally the recruiter called and said the hm wants to move forward with full loop. So far all normal right! Then she said you have to provide the availability within next 3 days as hm is looking for candidates immediately.
I figured out the loophole to meet more women in SF
As a brown man who is regular at Yoga classes, it doesnโt work. While racism is NOT present in the sense that no matter who you are, you do feel welcome in the classes, however, for anything other than yoga - like asking someone out or even striking up a general conversation - I think thereโs an unspoken and ingrained sense of racism still prevalent. The classes have a high ratio of young white women, but I feel that they only find white and black men hotโฆ brown men, no.
