“Go to your parents and ask them: hey, like every time I get a chance to talk to my boss, ask me if I can have more days off,” he said, per BI. “Ask your parents what they think of that as a career strategy.”

I do not support violence as retribution but I also reallllllllly want to slap this manbaby in the face, do his parents know he is behaving this way?

edit I would also like to note the evidence about employee efficiency being decreased from them being given vacations is simply not there, in the longterm vacations improve the performance of employees, thus taking them away and overworking employees is done out of spiritual and ideological belief not out of any actual pursuit of efficiency.

This ideology is deranged and unsupported by the science, even if you don't care about the dumpster ethics of it, which you also should too.

The ironic thing is longterm there is a steady market for VR if game developers are given time and agency to build it, it is way more revolutionary than AI in my opinion because it works.

If Meta had spent 1/10th of the money over 10 years on VR they would have walked out of this okay in the medium term but nope gotta chase the rainbow.

All they had to do was commit and they couldn't, not with all the money in the world.
