Nick Heer has identified a through line of Meta’s corporate strategy:

I do not know what is the right number of staff to run Meta’s operations but, whatever it is, there has to be a better way of figuring it out than by luring tens of thousands of people to work for you with promises of a huge salary and benefits, then upending their lives some time later.

Unfortunately, I feel confident that we’ll continue to see this habit each time Zuckerberg loses interest in his latest trendy obsession. At this point, it’s become company culture.
