This person is getting a lot of snarky responses, but all of this is relatively true at Amazon also and it was true when I was at Intel 10 years ago. This is how large companies operate once they surpass the innovation phase, so it should be no surprise to anyone that's actually worked in a FAANG and doesn't pound down the kool-aid.

Interesting how there's comments on this person being concerned solely with "TC" as if the company itself is not solely concerned with profit. To top it off, most of these companies are on some shitlist for abusing their work-force or slave labor in developing countries. There's nothing wrong in working at a FAANG for the money and I'm surprised to see the current attitude in this thread around that. I thought we were past the employer loyalty era and more accepting of the harsh reality that everything is profit-driven these days.

BTW the person is not literally saying to do these things. They are using humor as a means to illustrate how ridiculous it is working under those conditions.
