With meta on your resume you can easily find employment or freelance. Tech people have widely applicable and desired skills. Hell they could even move to a non 3rd world country and be better off.
And end up working for a company that's just as shitty but worse pay, or finding less shit companies that don't have the financial resources to employ more people
As someone in the tech industry i can say that now is a pretty terrible time to lose your job.
The market was booming during covid but is very dry right now. Many companies have had lots of layoff and the market is saturated with candidates
Yes but at Facebook they make more money, and money speaks louder than morals 🤡 I'm not sorry for the people working at Facebook. They are part of the problem. Facebook didn't just suddenly become evil yesterday.
I recently quit facebook due to rampant russian propaganda, unmoderated communities full of far left or far right (same thing really) bots and constant, rampant scams and ai posts. It's not that platform has it, any platform with 5 digit userbase has them. It is that FB has used it consistently across all their platforms to drive """""engagement"""".
No, they are not the same thing at all 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Both wanna solve problems with violence and shit up the internet.
The left: we want fair wages, working conditions and healthcare
The right: we want to enslave minorities and murder lgbtq people
This moron: they’re the same!!!
"Fair wages, working conditions, and healthcare" isn't the left. Those positions are centrist. The far left wants to do stuff like abolish the government. I'd still pick them over the far right, but abolishing the government is a pretty fuckin' bad idea.
Maybe in your part of the world that’s considered “centrist” but in good old freedom loving USA that’s outright communism and let’s shoot it.
I happen to be far left and also want to abolish government. Have you seen our government? It’s a plutocracy. There’s nothing worth saving, it’s been bought out since it was founded.
