Lol. You'll have exactly 1/1,500,000 the authority and responsibility.

They don't mean empowering their workforce. "We want to act more like a startup" is code for we want less accountability for bad decisions.

Do we have any write ups or post mortems from WhatsApp employees prior to the acquisition and the massive buy out?

I want to (artificially perhaps) peg my projects to a smaller cohort of employees if it means the stress to them is worth it if they have the autonomy to ship stuff on their own accord, for a general feeling of having a successful and useful career.
