Zuckerberg paid 1 hire $1.5 BILLION.
Then laid off 600 long-term employees.
The hire? Andrew Tulloch from Thinking Machines Lab, an AI research monster.
This just reinforces the obvious:
Companies do what’s best for them.
Here's what I noticed when working at Nokia Networks:
You’re a cell in a spreadsheet with a dollar value attached.
They highlight your row, hit delete, and you’re gone.
A state of constant stress and instabilility.
The worst part?
The leadership team enjoyed it:
During headcount meetings I heard a VP utter:
"cool they'll work harder with the news"
So do what’s best for you.
Build something you own.
