This leak coming after all the reassurances that the intitiative passed privacy review and wouldn't be a leak risk is soo damning.

Not only have the employees lost faith in the executive's integrity, but their basic competency as well.

Does anyone, ever, have any faith in the integrity or competence of executives, these days? Because it seems to me that most people would outright prefer them to burn but are powerless against the increasing abuses and betrayals of employees.

20% of the people will always just agree with the guy with the microphone.

seems to me that 20% of people agreeing, and the remaining 80% staying silent (or 79% with 1% vocal), leads to the abuse cycle continuing.

The silent majority creates a false feeling of large consensus and inability to know the reality.

In the history of humanity management has never been competent at scale. Entropy gives rise to signal attenuation which gives rise to generational churn which collapses empires and businesses

All these people had was ZIRP and preferential taxation, and the even more ignorant masses imaginations to manipulate

The ability has never been there because no real goal is there to build around; endless forever existence of Facebook and Meta? So like with Christianity, 2000 years from now people need to keep preaching to Saint Zuck's mind palace?

That's not a real goal. Most SaaS companies existed only to serve a political meme of "create jobs".
