Btw, have to say, didn't think Meta would be so singled out for being toxic. To me at least, compared to some of the other tech companies, it doesn't seem that much worse. For instance, Microsoft. The culture there is in many ways stems from Bill Gates' personality of bluntness, aggressiveness, and competitiveness. Especially in the past, he was king of crushing his competitors. Amazon, which often places less of a focus on the quality of its engineers and often where you feel more of a cog in a machine, where growth and expansion into as many industries as possible paramount...

Yes, Zuckerberg is known for being competitive and facebook gets a lot of flak for creating addictive tech products (and yes, I agree, it's excessively addictive), but to me at least, it's not that much worse than MS, which is more of this business machine whose goal is often just to win.

Yeah, to be honest, your question kind of took me a bit by surprise. But maybe there is something I'm not seeing? Thanks!
