our favorite LLC just taking after the most important company in the world: https://www.cnbc.com/2019/01/08/facebook-culture-cult-performance-review-process-blamed.html

More than a dozen former Facebook employees detailed how the company’s leadership and its performance review system has created a culture where any dissent is discouraged.

Reliance on peer reviews creates an underlying pressure for Facebook employees to forge friendships with colleagues for the sake of career advancement.

“There’s a real culture of ‘Even if you are f---ing miserable, you need to act like you love this place,’” said one ex-employee who left in October. “It is not OK to act like this is not the best place to work.”

This account is based on conversations with more than a dozen former Facebook employees who left between late 2016 and the end of 2018. These people requested anonymity in describing Facebook’s work culture, including its “stack ranking” employee performance evaluation system and their experiences with it, because none is authorized by Facebook to talk about their time there. This stack ranking system is similar to the one that was notoriously used by Microsoft before the company abandoned it in 2013, the former Facebook employees said.

Facebook declined to comment on former employees’ characterization of the work place as “cult-like.”

For instance, at an all-hands meeting in early 2017, one employee asked Facebook Vice President David Fischer a tough question about a company program. Fischer took the question and answered, but within hours, the employee and his managers received angry calls from the team running that program, this person said.

“I never felt it was an environment that truly encouraged ‘authentic self’ and encouraged real dissent because the times I personally did it, I always got calls,” said the former manager, who left the company in early 2018.

The sentiment was echoed by another employee who left in 2017.

“What comes with scale and larger operations is you can’t afford to have too much individual voice,” said this person. “If you have an army, the larger the army is, the less individuals have voice. They have to follow the leader.”

“It’s a little bit of a popularity contest,” said one manager who left the company in 2017. “You can cherry-pick the people who like you — maybe throw in one bad apple to equalize it.”

Peers can provide feedback directly to their colleagues, or they can send the reviews to the employee’s manager. That feedback is typically treated as anonymous and cannot be challenged.

“You have invisible charges against you, and that figures mightily into your review,” said an employee who left in October. “Your negative feedback can haunt you for all your days at Facebook.”

“People are very mindful about who they’re connected with on Facebook who they also work with and how what they’re posting will put them in a favorable light to their managers,” an employee who left in 2016 said.

As with many social media users, the online content does not always reflect the offline emotions.

“There’s so many people there who are unhappy, but their Facebook posts alone don’t reflect the backdoor conversations you have with people where they’re crying and really unhappy,” she said.

But there’s a companywide limit on the percentage of employees who can receive each grade. So during the reviews process, managers compete against their peer managers to secure strong grades for their direct reports. Managers are compelled to vouch fiercely for their favorite employees, but don’t speak up for employees they don’t like or who have previously received poor ratings.

“There’s a saying at Facebook that once you have one bad half, you’re destined for bad halves the rest of your time there. That stigma will follow you,” said a manager who left in September.

According to two former executives, the grade breakdown is approximately as follows:

 “Redefine,” the highest grade, is given to fewer than 5 percent of employees
 “Greatly exceeds expectations”: 10 percent
 “Exceeds”: 35 percent
 “Meets all”: 35 to 40 percent
 “Meets most,” a low grade that puts future employment at risk, goes to most of the remaining 10 to 15 percent
 “Meets some” grades are extremely rare and are seen as an indication that you’re probably getting fired, according to multiple employees.
 “Does not meet” are exceptionally rare, as most employees are fired before they get to that level.

User banned (3 days): Disingenuous arguing. Ignores Trump's repeated and documented calls for political violence.

I can right now, on this board, call Donald Trump a flaming pile of shit that I can't wait to see out of office so he can be prosecuted and hopefully jailed for all sorts of corrupt bullshit, without fear.

His economic policies are aimed at strongarming for the sake of achieving free trade. He's certainly a capitalist with a tinge of protectionism.

Fortunately our amazing constitution basically prevents a single party state, so we can forgo that aspect of fascism.

He's not a supporter of political violence.

The immigration rhetoric certainly has tinges of it, but the actual policies are way more complex to call one thing or another.

I'm a market socialist with a degree in political economy (aka marxism), I certainly get the difference between Marx and Stalin. The poster I replied to made claims about fascism to equate nazism, which are similar but different, just like Marxism and Stalinism. That's why I picked Stalinism isntead of Trotskyism

I think the direct correlation between alt-right and Neo-Nazis is incredibly nuanced, due to the overuse and overlabeling of both terms. But until I see actual Fascist tenents being proposed as law, it's hard for me to label the guy as such. Trump is a giant piece of shit, but I really don't think he's a Nazi or even a Nazi supporter. I don't really think he's a Fascist either.

Mmm... I'm from colombia and, although i'm not from pasto i have heard from this parade Blacks and Whites' Carnival .what do era think of that?
 

Why don't you tell us what you think of it first?

Well, I do not really know, as I said I'm not from Pasto, I see that the faces are painted black one day and white the next day?, but according to what I read the carnival is an attempt to unite the races with a lot of history. Then I wanted to hear other opinions because I know that blackface is racism, contrary to what they try to achieve. By the way, English is not my first language, so I apologize if something sounds weird.
 

10 posts
Year old account
"I'm from somewhere that isn't America"
"It's not actually racist"
"English isn't my first language"

If you're gonna try to defend blackface, can you at least be original?

Surely this will be actioned for post count shaming. At least a couple users called him out.

Did you bother reading his 11 posts? Not the first time he’s mentioned he’s from Colombia. This type of rebuttal youre doing is worse that mocking juniors ever was on GAF. Some people are lurkers, particularly people who arent comfortable with their English. Didnt seem like he was defending blackface either, tbh. Not yet at least.

There's so much wrong with this post. Especially with the mocking of English isn't my first language. News flash buddy, not everyone has English as their first language.

And he isn't defending this. At least not yet.

My opinion on this, hated it when South Park tried to do it on one of their games and hate it to this day.

Racism in general is one of the stupidest things in this world. People forget that we're all the same aside from color, race, and gender.
 

[benjipwns]

Can't help but think those apologists will keep saying "oh stop being hysterical and calling people Nazis" right up until the point where we find ourselves digging through the ashes of the next Auschwitz-Birkenau.

We study history for a reason, and the people who keep hand-waving away clear warning signs of history repeating (and for little more than semantic reasons) are very, very dangerous people, regardless of their intentions.

Interesting appeal to history here. The Nazi's didn't "sneak in" while people handwaved their agenda away. They, along with the Communists, achieved a negative majority while being quite open with their views, along with having constant street battles all over Germany. Then faced with two bad options the mainstream parties believed Hitler would be easier to control.

Why would you assume that the person hiring a hitman is telling you the truth about them being bad people?

Funny enough, Kane vs. Lynch from the same developer plays with such tropes. As does Freedom Fighters. Also, I want to say that the earlier games in Hitman had more "grey" area contracts but it's been a while since I've played those. The games are often negative about you just sadistically killing the hired hands too.

No way I am going to kill innocent good people. Even in GTA5 I avoid hitting people on street.

You can't even have a thread laughing at terrible, bitter incel comics because that means you're "hosting that sort of content"

That could apply to literally any discussion topic

Thread about the latest cop murder, "we don't want to host this sort of content because it normalizes this behavior among cops"

Thread about the latest #metoo'd celebrity, "we aren't hosting this type of content because the more incidents there are the more numb and accepting the public gets to the idea of sexual harassment"

"We don't want to normalize discussion of Trump as if someone like him deserves the time of day"

Lol in high school my friends and I were all known as "The J5"(japan-5) because we were known for loving everything that came out of Japan(anime, games, etc).

We averaged out to be decently popular with a couple of us being very popular and the rest of us being loner - > mid-tier popular. Without the more popular members of the 5 of us the rest of us probably would have been in a much lower tier.

edit: tbh the lowest tier of nerd in my high school were the yugioh card game players lol

Yugioh card players are truly the lowest of the low
