1: I quit fb because the culture in the team I was on was toxic as fuck. Backbiting, backstabbing and oneupmanship. Ain't got no time for that. Fb does not need you and everyone makes it very known. 2: Dunno, dont read about FB since I gives no fucks about them. 3: The team I was on was stagnant as fuck. Lots of bragging but little showing. 4: Probably if you want to put the effort in to get noticed. 5: Cant say for sure, the question is largely subjective. 6: Definitely feels like a large bloated company to me. 7: Lots of politics. Blahhhh. 8: I work for a consulting company now. Much more freedom. Every project has huge impact and I make about 45% more than I made at FB with potential to accelerate my compensation by delivering sooner than deadlines.

TL:DR Fuck FB.

edit -- I worked at FB for two years.

Yeah you know I actually have had panic attacks from too much caffeine. Moderation is definitely key.

Thanks for replying guys. I have been struggling with my self-created loneliness lately.

It is so weird that people dont want to hang out with a using drug addict. Haha.

Anyhow, I like to program in Lisp, perl and python. I work at a startup and no one knows I use and I never nod at work. I have been promoted twice since I have been there so I still have it together at work and it is going well.

Thanks for the responses. It makes me feel less isolated aand alone which feels really good right now :)

That definitely counts as an addiction.

If it affects you in a negative way and you cant stop, that is addiction.
