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.
Zuckerberg offered employees access to permanent desks, a symbolic gesture that unintentionally illustrated how expendable many of them had become. Many employees at Meta have been working from “hot desks,” a controversial scheme involving multiple workers sharing the same desks.
hot desks are normal in hybrid working. Id never swap coming in only once in 2 weeks for a perm desk. This is also the reason the company could never do RTO, they dont have the office space. If zuck wants employees to have fun again he should work on employer branding. Good pay, freebees left n right, access to high quality schooling, time to cool down between hot phases. Sprint after sprint without pause is just a marathon. Marathon without pause will be just a slow walk.
