Scary stuff. Glad I never drank the FB Kool-Aid. Don’t think I’d even consider a job offer from them.

It’s easy to say that when you are financially secure and comfortable.

What kind of person is facebook interested in hiring who can't become financially secure and comfortable working elsewhere?

Agreed. If you can get hired as an engineer at FB, you can get hired as an engineer at a less shitty company.

If FB started hiring unskilled laborers and promised to train them up to be a software dev, I could see this argument having some weight. But, AFAIK, they don’t.
