I find women who cannot provide for themselves unattractive.
I was brought up by 2 working parents and all my siblings are working professionals; I expect my partner to "pull her weight". Damsel's in distress are a huge turn-off for me,and having that imbalance feels icky and transactional on some level - to me.
But I know men who exclusively date women with lower academic qualifications than them, because they want that income gradient/clear pecking-order.
> Here's an experiment. At your place of work, circulate a document criticizing leadership and how they're all wrong. Make sure to publicize this loudly to people outside the organization.
This happens often: I'm guessing about once a month, and nothing happens. The difference is that Zuckerberg is not a needy, thin-skinned billionaire,and will directly address employee criticism in Q&As - as well as press leaks like a well-adjusted adult
No, the difference is Meta is a publicly traded company, SpaceX is not. Meta don't want this kind of negative publicity since it directly affects their stocks price, mishandle these things can lead to lawsuit from investors. For SpaceX, they don't have to care about any of those things.
No, it does not, but it still happens. Most of our internal[1] Q&A discussions leak to the press (especially criticisms of leadership[2]), but Zuckerberg decided it's the cost of internal openness. I'm yet to hear of anyone fired for leaking company discussions, or even witch-hunts to find leakers. Musk is being a baby, I hope they bleed irreplaceable talent.
1. These have remained unchanged post-IPO, have nothing to do with public listing, and Meta would like them to be confidential
2. One of our recently-promoted execs was publicly and vociferously criticized by employees for something they did, and the critics are still employed, because the execs are not petty.
I don't really think Zuckerberg cares that much about short term fluctuations in the stock price. He has majority control, the market has effectively zero power if he doesn't like its ideas.
> For SpaceX, they don't have to care about any of those things.
They do if they want customers. ULA and Blue Origin would love nothing more than for SpaceX's leadership to piss off NASA and burn some of those juicy government contract opportunities.

Yes. I work on WhatsApp, which is the best[1] messaging app among those that make an effort to be relevant for the "next billion" internet users. There are probably people in Ukraine right now who are relying on the work we do. I wouldn't be able to say the same had I worked on some *aaS CRUD app (not that there's anything wrong with that!)
