What’s next for tech companies? Is our dream run over? Facebook has cut a lot of perks and I see it will cut more, how are the other companies doing?

Facebook / Meta, Google, and the other “big boys” have always lead with far above average benefits / perks. The “Average” tech companies are above average if they have 401k matching and no out-of-pocket premiums for employees.

I’ve worked at plenty of smaller tech companies where I had to pay $200+ per pay period for basic healthcare premiums AND there was no 401k matching. Those companies also advertised themselves as having “great” benefits and perks.

If by “dream run” you mean coasting plus rest and vest, then yes, it’s over

Lol meta isn’t really for coasters , I mean all the perks and having some sense of job security.

I don't know what "our" dream run was. But as long as I can make ends meet and save for retirement, I'll be fine.

I’ve always been aware of a y guy’s “manhood” and don’t emasculate men.

Thx
