Mr. Nice! posted:meanwhile, the wsj knows who is really at fault for this: Not only is it incredibly dumb to blame this on the board having a modicum of diversity, rather than say the culture of silicon valley, it feels incredibly close to just saying that we should scapegoat minorities for any problems with the economy. The author probably hasn't thought it through that far and is just trying to own the libs while making an excuse for silicon valley, but, like imagine if the bank run had actually lead to a major crash in the financial system and the WSJ was publishing an op-ed effectively blaming that on black and LGBT+ people. mystes fucked around with this message at 16:22 on Mar 14, 2023 |

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/mar/14/mark-zuckerberg-meta-layoffs-hiring-freeze "Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta is laying off another 10,000 people and instituting a further hiring freeze as part of the company’s “Year of Efficiency”, the chief executive announced in a Facebook post on Tuesday." ... "But there was no sign of Zuckerberg changing course on one of his most controversial decisions in recent years: plowing billions of dollars annually into the “metaverse”, a vaguely defined virtual world that is so central to his vision of the future that he renamed the company after it." lol

our CEO did a presentation where he talked about how improving diversity was a key goal while standing in front of an org chart that showed that every single person in top management was white and male apart from two female executive assistants and like the head of the offshore location lol
