software engineering used to be so simple - get a computer science degree - learn one programming language - grind leetcode - crack big tech interviews - work 20 hours a week - say “no updates" during standup - get rich from RSUs when did it all fall apart?

@nishantsingh211 corporates... V

Obsession not even scary if u dated a crazy Latina that’s just real life

You can’t make this shit up 😂🤦🏾‍♂️

you think you are not being punished for your sins, yet you have been deprived of Qiyām Layl, your daily portion of the Qur’an, and the goodness of these blessed 10 days. you have been deprived of nawaafil, sadaqah and it's difficult for you to even repeat the takbeer. your heart has been sealed but you are unaware because you're not afflicted in your worldly affairs. punishment, sometimes, is being deprived from worshipping Allāh.

Meta was easily the most toxic company I've worked for. There's a reason the Chinese call it "Squid Game". Others refer to it as "Hunger Games" or "Lord of the Flies". I think they're all accurate. The company culture is basically every man/woman for themselves. The performance review process (PSC) not only doesn't incentivize helping others, if anything it actually discourages it since everyone is stack ranked against each other. Imagine working on a team where every 6 months, one of you is going to get axed. Of course it's going to become toxic. "Bottoms up" culture is a complete farce - it's just a way for leadership to offload accountability. The Tech Leads (TLs) have all the power - owning the relationships and tribal knowledge to gatekeep projects to their buddies. Managers are "people managers" with limited technical understanding, who basically aggregate TL feedback and create performance review packets to calibrate with other managers and IC7+. The takeaway is that your destiny is in the hands of the TLs, and TLs unlike managers have no responsibility for your career. There are no repercussions for unethical behavior. I've seen managers and TLs throw others under the bus and get away with it. The only mission bonding the company together is individual self-preservation. Save your own ass to survive for another stock vesting, and throw someone else under the bus if you need to. That's why layoffs rarely impact directors/VPs or tenured IC7+ despite the fact that they're paid by far the most. Even this recent mass layoff that was supposed to "flatten" managers layers barely affected directors/VPs/IC7+, and fell predominantly on M1s - the lowest rung of the management chain. The culture is extremely performative and focused on box ticking and optics. Everything is about PSC (the performance review system) and perception. This means tons of meetings, useless AI slop posts, and top-down initiatives that don't benefit anyone but maybe help tick off the impact box of some go-getter at the top. Impact is not enough - it has to have sufficient complexity. So complexity is added for complexity's sake. The org I was in (Facebook ads) is 90% Chinese, and the entire leadership chain up to the VP level is Chinese. Mandarin is the primary language at the office, except in official meetings with non-speakers. Chinese work culture is very different from American work culture, with 996 (9am-9pm, 6 days/week), top-down nature, emphasis on saving face (eg. don't question your superiors), and toxicity being quite common. Naturally when an org is completely dominated by a single ethnicity that's notorious for not integrating, elements from their work culture seep in. Of the layoffs I witnessed in this org, 3/4 were not Chinese (just to be clear, most Chinese are very kind so don't take this as an attack. But it is a reality that I think most people outside this company are completely unaware of, and I question if leadership is even aware despite the fact that we're talking about the company HQ) I had the most toxic manager of my life here. I watched him deliberately set up a new hire to fail, driving them to needing to see a psychiatrist for anxiety + depression, and getting them fired. Then he suddenly disappeared for 8 months, before leaving the company. I could go on and on, but this is already pretty long and I think you get the point. Yes there are a lot of great, kind people here. I managed to transfer out of my first team into a new team with a great manager where everyone was very smart, supportive, and hardworking. But the company has its Squid Game reputation for a reason. Company culture comes from the top. It seems leadership is either too removed to notice, or maybe don't really care anymore because I guess they already made their billions and us plebs are expendable these days.

Meta doomsday tomorrow. How’s everyone feeling? @Meta

Doree Lewak wrote this headline knowing that 3 innocent civilians were killed, children were present at the school. Imagine the uproar if the headline was: “Jewish Synagogue where mass shooting left 3 dead has controversial history - including ties to Epstein and settlements.”

META LAYOFFS SPARK PANIC AS STAFF RUSH TO GRAB FREE SNACKS, DRINKS & CHARGERS: EX-EMPLOYEE

@Eldonchorizo_ They said Mario Kart World would be a massive failure for the Switch 2 and people won't buy the console to play it. They have no cpue what they're talking about and its safe to say there is a reason they don't work for Nintendo anymore.

Did Kit and Krysta ever have deep access to Nintendo information or are they just making up shit for clicks?

@paulswaney3 You are a mega loser Paul, and also an incel

streets are saying it’s IRVINE CALIFORNIA ?? AS IN ORANGE COUNTY ?? AS IN THE COUNTY IN WHICH I RESIDE ?????????????

Everything that happens in your life is a part of Allah’s perfect plan. Have tawakkul. Everything happens for your own good. There’s Allah’s hikamah behind it. Our limited minds are not always able to understand the Divine Decree. So trust Allah, be content and accept whatever comes into your life with satisfaction

@MarioNawfal Fuck Ukraine man

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Ukrainian attack drones hit a Russian oil pipeline pumping station in Perm 24 hours ago. Flames hundreds of feet high, and it's still burning today. 5 refineries are already offline in Russia. Now a major pipeline station.

@YBN5785 @esaagar Stfu you Rat. We’re not tryna pay for your crimes and selfish desires. Stupid mf

@esaagar Oh no, what will we do? I guess we should let the psychotic Islamists control the middle east forever so that you can fly to Japan for less money.

Japan Airlines will now be doubling the jet fuel surcharge to $350 USD per ticket for any JAL flight to North America or Europe going forward South Korean airlines will also be doubling their fuel surcharge

🇯🇵 A bar in Osaka is letting female servers spit milk into customers' coffee as a "special service." You can get that for free just by insulting the waitress at most U.S diners

@Eng_china5 That white bitch is a pussy snitch 💀 couldn’t take the heat when she dished it on the Asian

An Asian freshman student at a high school in California was bullied and physically attacked by an older white student known as a “super senior” (a student who has repeated multiple school years). The Asian girl was seen crying and begging her to stop. Later, a Black student named Keshanti learned about the situation and confronted the bully outside the school, leading to a physical altercation and harsh words directed at her, telling her: “Go fight someone your own size.” The school initially threatened to expel Keshanti, but after widespread outrage and backlash on social media, the decision was reversed.

@YourBoiBWB227 @Steez_47 Will have to tune into that one - thanks
