i mean, the portal part is hilarious/dumb/bubble-y but "we're walking back incentive structures to reduce stress and improve quarantine compliance" seems like a good message to spread
like yes and i think companies should def be addressing performance internally but to post it on the wider internet at a time when millions of ppl are about to fully lose their jobs is just weird dude like what fb engineer needs an extra $1000

It says all employees, not just engineers. AFAIK Facebook also employs chefs/cooks/events people/HR folks/finance people/interns etc.. Far be it from me to defend FB but this just seems like unnecessary outrage.

“employees” doesn’t include contractors, who do basically all the low-wage jobs there (cooks, cleaners, etc). and everyone in hr/finance/etc is still making a healthy tech white collar salary—at lowest in the 80k range based on h1b data. not outraged so much as perplexed

i guess my hope is that a decent idea might spread beyond fb i mean, shitty ideas trickle down from highly-visible firms (everyone adopted the dumbness of stack ranking from GE in the 80s/MS in the 90s)... maybe mindless mimicry could actually be good in this instance

like sure but still feels super tone deaf since nobody with a job where "perf" is a consideration is really in danger here
