How were they rude? His FIRST line was "Hi REDACTED. I know you’re just doing your job."

They weren't arrogant or hostile to the person who emailed them.

He has a strong opinions on Facebook, as do, I'm sure, millions of other people, and rightly so, given what they have been shown to be doing for several years.

I think the arrogance lies entirely on your side.

Suppose you don’t like cars. And your neighbor car owner came to you and invited you to have a cup of tee.

Polite person responds with thank you maybe another time.

Rude person would say that your car is ugly, I hate cars, and I know you are just a car owner because you need to bring your kids to school, but all cars must be destroyed especially yours, we need to save the planet, cars destroy communities.

People can write blog posts with criticism of cars. But they don’t attack car owners personally.

People can write blog posts criticizing Facebook. But they should not direct their anger to employees.

Please quote the part of the post where he directs his anger DIRECTLY at employees?

The title of the article is "An Open Letter to the FB recruiter" and not "An Open Letter to FB"
It’s a pretty useless article. The author is seeking attention. I’m not a fan of Facebook and don’t use the platform.
