I'm resigning from my job at Facebook

Can Facebook fuck off with closing the current tab I am in whenever I click one of their links? Sometimes undoing the closed tab doesn't work and there is no way to recover my previous tabs history.

This has gotten so annoying and used to be things we only expected from spam sites

Hrm, yes, though flagged. (I'd searched the FB link, didn't see the LinkedIn post.)

Why was it flagged?

If you resign from Facebook and don't tell anyone, have you really resigned?

He’s standing up for what he believes. You can disagree with his convictions, but you should admire anyone who risks personal and financial consequences for sticking to their guns. That’s what actual morality is—not just a “belief” that is talked about but acted upon even when the results will be costly.

Presidents have all kinds of privileges that others don’t. Why should their privilege on social-media be diminished? To me the problem is not the platform but the fact that they have such exceptional privilege to begin with.

What I don't understand is how you can be Facebook employee and also think the platform is the problem - lots of these especially in the React community [1].

If you believe Facebook is the problem, and you're quite vocal about it, and you continue working for Facebook, then that seems as close to paradoxical as you can possibly get.

If that's the case you are by definition working for a company which values you disagree with. That's similar to working for an oil company while being a climate change activist on social media.

It is overwhelming to see folks in the tech community come forward to support a cause like this. Protesting and speaking up is one thing, leaving a job is another. Kudos.
