Big No!

Absolutely not

Devils advocate: it's no worse in terms of destroying lives and keeping people down than credit scores 🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️

I don't think there is one yes and no on this question, it's just provocative.

If you for the societal impact of benchmarking, FOMO, toxity etc. Yes then it is bad. .

But it also created thousands of jobs, market place for people without technical skills enabling them to sell, one of the biggest communication apps in the world (WhatsApp/Messenger) etc.

Fair Point - the core fb product is a different question

Nope

Look at our society post social media and judge for yourself.

Is anything a good thing for society?

Or more specifically, is any tech company a good thing for society?

Questions for my fellow EAs out there:
1. How many of you travel for your job? If so, are there stipulations?
2. My team is having an 2-day offsite meeting in another city and many folks outside of our team are all traveling in for it. Some are only attending for an hour. My exec told me yesterday I couldn’t attend (after weeks of asking him), citing that we couldn’t have excessive hours of OT (maybe 4 hrs). I do not feel valued as a team member.
Should I bring it up or let it go?
