Facebook Employees Are Calling Former Colleagues To Look For Jobs Outside the Company and Asking About the Best Way To Leave (cnbc.com)
An anonymous reader shares a report: Six former Facebook employees who left the company within the last two years told CNBC they've experienced a rise in contact from current company employees to inquire about opportunities or ask for job references. [...] The shift could be an early warning of recruiting and retention challenges for Facebook after a turbulent year. In 2018, the company has faced public questioning at multiple congressional hearings, scandals around third-party abuse of user data and public relations practicesand flat or declining user growth in key markets. It's also seen its stock drop nearly 40 percent from July. The stories from former employees are only anecdotal at this point, and there's no firm data showing a significant uptick in departures or employee dissatisfaction.

These are TFAs that no one will read.

... in Dallas at the building with the Pegasus.
Back in the 90s there were rumours of pending layoffs in IT (didn't happen until 1.5 years later) and the best coders, on lunch break, walked across the street to Kodak; got hired on the spot and left with one day notice.
It was a fucking mess. I was a new hire in 1986 and could not pick up the slack from those who left.
I did continue to have coffee with the blokes and asked them how it was going.
Their reaction was that it didn't matter if the goddam mainframe supported a credit union, bank, hospital, film processor or the fucking oil patch.
Computers are computers. Data specific to the use case was not a big deal.
It little behooves the best of us to comment on the rest of us.
Every mass exodus starts with the most qualified, most valuable employees, and continues to the lesser and lesser qualified ones. It takes the most qualified people less time to find another job! Eventually, all that are left are the incompetents... Yahoo!
I've abandoned my search for truth; now I'm just looking for some useful delusions.
The "best way to leave" is to leave. This really isn't difficult.
Unless, of course, you've built a lifestyle that depends on suckling on the Privacy-Destroying Big Intrusive Adware teat and desperately need someone else to overpay you to keep yourself in unnecessary Amazon Prime purchases. But nobody in the tech industry would be that naive.
Seriously, Zuckerberg is your idea of a leftist? His business philosophy is move so fast you outpace any problems you create. That's practically the left's stereotype of what's wrong with laissez-faire capitalism.

Most ad work these days include a major component of statistical data analysis in the context of business intelligence which is highly sought after. The funny thing is that the actual experts are the folks who are working as contractors at Facebook (FB), these are the folks are usually the types looking for new jobs. It's really interesting regarding the dynamic between Full Time Employees (FTE) and contractors. A lot of the FTEs at FB managing their contractors don't have a good grasp of what the actual work is. Another issue causing a clash between FTEs and Contractors is age and experience gap. Mid 20s FTEs with no management background told to handle a large group of contractors, their only qualification is that they're an FTE. lol.

It's a complete mess. A complete flaming mess.
Thankfully I have popcorn.
Remember that time their app got caught accidentally ignoring key privacy settings?
Consider the possibility that wasn't an accident.
There is just nothing else out there for making discussion groups, pages, or creating events.
It's really sad that you think this is true. But I'm even more sad that I know this is a common opinion.
I never said that the don't have any info on me,just that I have nothing to do with their site and never visit it.
Good, inexpensive web hosting
Agreed. The only winning move is not to play.
Never had a Facebook account, never will.
I am interested however in what kind of "shadow" data they have on me. I wonder if there is a way to request that?
