I don’t understand how Facebook has so many employees. What do they do, what does their standard day look like.
If I don’t show up to my job there’s loads of tasks that wouldn’t get done but Facebook is a website, it can’t honestly need so many employees especially when they never really change anything.
Meetings and meetings about how to enshittificate more (example: premium subscription for WhatsApp is now already in A/B testing phase) and find a way to skirt laws and regulations
I don’t mean this in a way that suggests Facebook is culturally important and good in any fashion, but Facebook does a LOT of different things and in fact is a multitude of websites and features in a trench coat. Whether they are bloated with employees or not, it makes perfect sense for Facebook to have a metric ton of employees. Also it’s not just Facebook, it’s Meta as a company so there are plenty of people working there who have nothing to do with the website.

facebook is one of the backbones of the internet. that’s why.
Right that’s why I mean that what does the average Facebook employee do when they get in in the morning?
the same as any other employee at any other tech or other company. mostly emails and meetings. a few hours of actual work.
