    What would one expect when you base a huge corporation's income on such a unsustainable, pushy and universally disliked way of making money ?...

      META (values in millions)
      NET INCOME:
      LTM: 28,832
      2021: 39,370
      2020: 29,146

      NET CASH:
      2019: 9,155
      2020: (1325) (negative)
      2021: (1089)
      LTM: 447

      I think they made bad decisions or some error in management, not a blame to the economy because numbers are no so bad...

          By firing those people you hurt the economy even more.

            Nice one Mark, you finally ruined your own Facebook company self.

              This. This is why the unemployment rate is getting high, though.

                The amount of ads and the increase from 3 or 4 years ago is crazy. It's all ads and sponsored posts. If they can't make enough money on it they are doomed. Sad face , not really.

                          Translation. Us rich people created inflation and due to this imaginary inflation that doesn't effect anyone except maybe small town businesses we needed to hold profits with an iron grip so we need to pay less employees so we can keep making more money.

                            I wonder why he blaim his workers and why he is not taking responsibility on him self.
                            He should fire him self and leave his chair for someone more competent.
                            Bet if project cambria fail he will sack another thousdants just because his investments goes wrong and his fault will be translated as fault of people working on project Cambria.

                                      All uselesses appendages like those women in tiktok and their "my day as a worker in tech" will be affected. Anyone of any real value to the company, the people that actually run things, will remain.
