"Without a doubt Facebook is one of the best offices I've worked in ... open office is like working in a warehouse, food is good, they have decent coffee."
In my experience of working for corporations, all of them tend to be cult-like. Office politics: bringing down others to cut ahead, cutting deals, favoritism, etc. are the norm and your work and quality of it matters very little in the long run as long as you can deliver something on time.<p>The difference lies in perception. Or to put it more elegantly, if you like (or at least can tolerate) that specific flavor of Kool-Aid.
I've been following this guy for around 1 year or so. Really funny guy, the content is enjoyable more than informative. The moment he said "politics" in his last video I hoped he wouldn't be getting a visit from the activist press, now it looks like he's on the radar and at risk of getting the pewdiepie treatment
Not far much from what he's doing on Youtube, isn't? Posting clickbait titles, crazy thumbnails .. etc to get views, likes and comments to rank up.<p>I'm not defending Facebook nor attacking Shye, I just want to say that rules are pretty much the same for different games so why criticising one and accepting the other?
“It’s kind of this game for people to get as many likes and comments on their posts,” he said. “If you’re into popularity contests, if you thrive in that type of environment then you’ll probably do really well.” - Well that's exactly the game he's into with YouTube... so then why did he get fired?
Basing on his milion videos that use "ex googler/facebook" in title to lure people, how he ain't just programming celebrity?<p>Why should I care about his opinion?
There's something ironic about the criticism of Facebook internally as a popularity contest, then making $500,000/year from advertising on your popular YouTube channel.
