This is the very real cost of leaks. We had a sensitive topic that we could engage on openly and explore even bad ideas, even if just to eliminate them. If we have to live in fear that even our bad ideas will be exposed then we won’t explore them or understand them as such, we won’t clearly label them as such, we run a much greater risk of stumbling on them later. Conversations go underground or don’t happen at all. And not only are we worse off for it, so are the people who use our products.

yeah, I'm sure that thread was just full of employees telling a company VP that his idea was a piece of poo poo in a non-anomymous setting

like, sure, people should be able to discuss bad ideas. but that memo wasn't about ideas. it was about telling their employees that ethically dubious or even outright dangerous practices are a-OK, and people should put ethical questions aside because Facebook is an inherent good for the world

lots of people at Facebook would happily endure the Punishment Cube if it meant some respite from their open plan hell

people there construct makeshift cubicles from mobile whiteboards only to see them taken away because “hey, doesn’t look like you’re using this…”
