Is there no one there at all who would tell him this was a terrible idea? That it's an absolute parody of working in a corporate hell? If I had any kind of stake in FB, that would be the most worrisome part of this.

There was probably quite a project and initiative to come up with this. Likely some (non-tech) team's big goal for the year..

Sure, I don't think he actually came up with it himself. I'm saying it didn't happen without Zuck's sign off. If no one told him it was awful, that's worrisome. If they told him and he ignored it, that's even worse.

Somebody is rewarded for this cross-org high-visibility work.

I suspect not.
A guy who gives out business cards at the start saying "I'm CEO Bitch" and then takes over the world is probably surrounded by complete "yes people" at this point.
Everything about the Metaverse pivot smells to me like a team that thinks their best interest is to just agree with the Emperor.
