That's probably fairly accurate. I toured the FB DC office once, about 10 years ago. I signed my name on their mural wall. I feel dirty now. š

Once the algo is in place, what do you truly need the other 130,000 employees for? Iām sure even way less than 20k employees could keep 90% of their revenue afloat. The bloat is enormous. Hopefully the laid off saw this coming and have a plan.
Absolutely. They were building their own demise. I felt like that a few years back. I was actively working on moving and consolidating all of my services from one server room into a data center with centralized services, giving up control to 90% of my infrastructure. It was an odd feeling. Thankfully, I was able to move into another position. They never replaced me after I left. They didn't need a *me* any longer. Though, they did call me for the next 2 years for random things...
