They could work anywhere better for a bit less. You HAVE to want to work at Meta in order to work at Meta.

But I do know from first-hand experience you can get a way lower mortgage right outside Amsterdam, and you can halve it by moving even further.
But every job is a choice
Correct, and with every choice there can be consequences. If you're in the army, and it turns out the army is shooting children for fun, for instance, you can expect some people to dislike this. This may result in you getting questions about the situation. You can cry "I didn't know" or "I'm just doing my job", or you can be an adult.
Or, maybe, they just dont care.
They just don't care about others specifically. This is what I argued earlier in the thread, as it seems most likely.]]>https://forum.fedi.dk/post/https://fedi.tyil.nl/notes/ariwp8sjdihttps://forum.fedi.dk/post/https://fedi.tyil.nl/notes/ariwp8sjdiThu, 24 Sep 2026 09:41:20 GMT<![CDATA[Reply to Do Meta employees even like their own Meta glasses? on Thu, 24 Sep 2026 09:38:50 GMT]]>@Roelmaalderink @bitsoffreedom drie hoeraatjes voor het Streisand Effect!

But every job is a choice. Being a soldier, a butcher is a choice. So why not working at Meta. Or, maybe, they just dont care.

Please read the books of Jan Eggers about the Circle. He is so on point.

@schellevis waarom maken jullie in dit bericht melding dat het filmpje "nog wel op Youtube te zien is" en niet bijvoorbeeld ook hier? Het zou echt helpen als mainstream media bigtech wat minder credits zou geven.

Reality sits somewhere in between, that being said, try to find a job in tech that doesn't somehow contribute to technofascism. Its hard.

And no, there isn't enough space for everyone in tech to just start teaching or something like that.

Das Video ist halt einfach nicht dieser Gotcha-Moment den es verkaufen möchte. Und selbst wenn, gäbe es andere Möglichkeiten den Punkt zu machen, als von irgendeiner random Mitarbeiterin den Arsch zu filmen und auf Fedi zu posten.

Ik had dit filmpje nog niet bekeken. Maar toen ik er over las op Teletekst (dat het van Instagram werd gehaald) ben ik het even gaan terugkijken. Betere reclame krijg je niet. Zelf kom ik nooit op FB en Instagram, ik moet zoiets dus via Teletekst lezen.

Nadeel is dat dit teveel reacties op Mastodon oplevert. Die ga ik (tegen m'n principes in) echt niet allemaal lezen. Nog even en ik moet A.I. inzetten voor een slap en sterk ingekort gemiddelde.

Is this like gun carrying theory? We know that guns exist and police are carrying them, like we know that police carry bodycams.
Can we allow other people to carry guns and body cams?
Or how to tell what happens with the recorded data?
Who should have access?
Who should be able to decide that?
