I’ve seen Twitter uproars against Google and LinkedIn employees who have uploaded similar content:

A lot of the lavish perks they’ve showed have been part of these companies since these two young women were toddlers. It’s privilege discourse meeting the cringey nature of TikTok.

You should have shorted Meta the day this video dropped. Not because it showed lazy workers, but because the worker shared it on TikTok, not a Meta-owned property.
Went viral on Twitter though, so maybe Musk will be having the last laugh after all
Yes, and once we answer the question "How come Twitter is the centre of culture for monetizable users yet appears to be unmonetizable" we'll have the answer to why twitter's stock price has been stagnant for years.

Personally, I think the answer is "twitter is popular because it isn't monetized, when it gets monetized it won't be popular".

I work from home, my in my day also consists of working out at the [home] gym, making coffee [in the kitchen], sometimes getting a view from my deck while working, walking the dog to the park, dinner and a movie with my wife and dog.
These things are just recruitment videos. They're made to get lots of views by being a little controversial. Their HR departments want people to see the free coffee, fancy office, etc.
These videos are more a tiktok trend for flexing than an HR thing. They attract a lot of negative attention, most unjustified IMO. I don't think ideal candidates for big tech would find these videos that appealing anyway.
Seriously? Do these companies really need to market their cozy do-nothing earn-lot middle management positions?
I can assure you the people making these videos are not in middle management.
The video said she was a PM at Meta, no?
