One way to side step the issue - trust the hiring process. I haven't seen very many issues, but Meta seems to give people multiple chances, on multiple teams, under multiple managers, before doing a pip (or whatever the equivalent is).

It is possible to work on efforts to prevent genocide and extremism. As a matter of fact, there are very few people who enable genocide! (Approaching 0.0000)

Doesn't refusal to help only exacerbate the situation?

Second this. FB Corp treats its employees very well.

For general role hires, this is true, although it's a subset of all teams - teams with high priority roles pitch to you, you choose a couple to try out tasks for a few days. They stack rank, you stack rank, matches are made.

Internal transfers after 1 year are pretty easy. I've seen people transfer earlier, if it's clear the fit between employee and team isn't there.
