[confounded]

At least according to the Meta employees in the article, people are terrified of voting with their feet, because of the current job market.

As a result, many are communing hours a day, to sit on zoom calls. Wasting their valuable time on earth for the sake of a manager's dictat.

Things are good. But they can always be better :)

Management pretty often do not have the best ideas, and often the people doing the work know how best to do it.

I mean, isn't that what work is?

You get paid, in exchange you spend your time doing stuff at your boss's behest, which you wouldn't do if you weren't being paid?

I mean sure, there are some jobs like being a doctor which you might consider a higher calling, but nobody joins Facebook expecting to do socially useful work, it's an ad company.
