Pretty crazy/bizarre that a VP/Fellow engineer would have such little say in what they do at Meta. In my mind, companies would do everything possible to retain them. They are a special and rare breed.

It looks like he'd already been transferred once (to Infra) and maybe didn't want to do it again.
