Mark Zuckerberg's Biggest Problem: Internal Tensions At Facebook Are Boiling Over
“It’s the bunker mentality. These people have been under siege for 600 days now. They’re getting tired, getting cranky — the only survival strategy is to quit or fully buy in.”
In a year teeming with scandals and missteps, Facebook’s latest fiasco has inspired a clutter of leaks, finger pointing, and internal conversations about the future of the company and its leadership. And after more than a year of bad press, internal tensions are reaching a boiling point and are now spilling out into public view.
[ . . . . ] Two former employees said the spate of negative reports has cast a shadow over the company in recent weeks. Current and former employees describe a tense and, at times, hostile atmosphere inside the company, one in which both senior employees and even staunch loyalists are contemplating their futures.
People are “hoping for a Sundar or Dara moment,” one former senior Facebook employee told BuzzFeed News, referring to past leadership changes at Google and Uber in which founding employees stepped aside from top jobs.
[ . . . . ] “It’s really seeped in the last few years,” another added. “Election season is always the worst too, 2020 will be another shit show.” A third user added, “In this company, if you tell the truth, you are dead.”
As a non Facebook user, I had no idea.

We were even awarded medals when we killed them the very most effectively.
There weren't enough people killing Fascists in Spain, so volunteers came round from all over so as to help those outnumbered Spaniards who preferred to kill fascists than to be killed themselves. The American cadre was denoted as the Lincoln Brigade.
One Fascists is widely regarded as having committed suicide but some claim he was spirited off to Argentina. Another Fascist faced a firing squad along with his lady, then their two bodies were hung by their ankles from the roof over a petrol station.
In my understanding, one other top Fascist surrendered to those who vaporized many of his countrymen, Fascist or no.
Fascism remained prominent on Argentina, but when the Missus toured no-longer-Fascist Italy, she lamented:
We'll be killing Fascists again sometime soon, but we're going to be in a World Of Hurt when we do so, because today's Fascists are possessed of far-more fearsome weaponry.

It's from the Broadway play by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, that was later made into a movie starring Madonna, who rang up the director or some such then _demanded_ to play the title role. The script seemed to have been written specifically for her.

Far better to kill a communist than a fascist. Oh, but wait, the communists intentions were better when they killed 4x the people that facists ever did, and in much more brutally efficient ways.
