Mark Zuckerberg Orders His Employees to Start Having Fun Again After Brutal Layoffs Culled Their Colleagues

Morale at Meta has seemingly hit rock bottom.

Employees have been roiling from multiple rounds of major layoffs. Last month alone, the Mark Zuckerberg-led company laid off a whopping 8,000 workers, roughly ten percent of its workforce, as part of its chaotic refocusing efforts around AI.

Many of those who remain are now forced to perform the grunt work to train AI models, weekly busywork that's already driving some of them up the wall, as Wired reports.

In an internal memo to employees on Friday, Zuckerberg attempted to lift their spirits in what appears to be a notable failure to read the room. Specifically, the billionaire promised to host a companywide AI hackathon in July — only to get brutally shut down by workers who were in no mood for such a thing.

Until morale improves the beatings will continue.

3. This could go badly

"Sam, come to the front and tell us your hackathon project!"

"Mr. Zuckerberg, for my hackathon project I hacked into our employee database. I terminated you, marked your file 'rehire ineligible,' deactivated your security badge and distributed your Meta stock holdings to our lowest-level employees before notifying the police that you're committing criminal trespass on company property and filing for a 72-hour psychiatric hold for you. You're welcome. Do I win the prize?"

They will walk out. That would be doing the world a favor.

7. When management says I dont give a shit about you

Employees never forget it. Meta makes billions in profit. There is no reason to be firing anyone sans GREED. Funny enough, the markets hate all his firing and despite a decent PE, his stocks the laggard of the magnificent 7.
