I think this is ridiculous and borderline sociopathic.

The signal Mark Zuckerberg is sending is that it is OK for a manager to be a bully "in the interest of the company".

No it is not.



We're not talking here about being overly critical in a code review, or even criticizing someone who pushed bugs to prod. This is someone who intentionally violated company policy in a way that harms everyone who works there. It is not business as usual. Getting mad about this sort of thing is like getting mad about somebody keying your car or spreading false rumors about you: entirely reasonable and justified and not an interaction where professionalism is expected.


I disagree.

The lack of professionalism, in this example, is the menacing email.

Of course there are rules to follow when working for a company, and some degree of loyalty is naturally expected.

But this kind of email is completely unwarranted, there is no need for this tone.


If this triggers you, Please resign.

Sometimes corporations face tough intense competition, where margins are pressured and products need to be shipped or media/government/bad actors go on a propaganda. If you can't handle that please join a steady, stable electric company or join the government.


I would clearly not work for a FAANG, ever, for many reasons, including the risk of awful bosses/managers.

Last time I had an awful boss I triggered him on purpose to get fired.

As they used to say in the Mafia, the fish rots from the head, I think that Facebook/Meta is such an horrible company because of Zuck.
