#22This is an entirely subjective take, but in the last few years FB seem to have evolved from one the coolest places for an engineer to being at the bottom of FAANG. I wonder if a significant amount of those people are looking for positions at Google/Amazon or they are taking their expertise somewhere else.

#23This bodes very poorly for Facebook. The money may still come in but forward-thinking younger talent can be the crucial difference between a trendy company like Facebook and a corporate monolith like Oracle.

Oracle is still one of the most profitable companies on earth. I highly doubt they care about being trendy.

“empty, patronizing, virtue signaling” is basically why all office jobs used to expect employees to wear ties.

Ah yes, the "honest authenticity" of only hiring white and asian males. Those were the days.

I'm a hardcore leftie. so I agree with the sentiment behind these initiatives, and also agree with you that the current treatment is somewhat facile and annoying.
but really? if being offended by this is the most important thing about your choice of employment - maybe your priorities are a little skewed?

#28People may be more willing to hop, but they'll be able find new hires. Check out the number of applicants to any "Meta" job opening on LinkedIn.
Everybody compensating like FAANG does will find new hires. The question is: are they the best?

That's just not true (well the clusterfuck part is). Big tech dominates the top of the list for most well regarded brands.

FWIW, I think it’s probably appropriate to disclose that you’re the CTO of a reactionary social media competitor when you make a post like this.
