I work at Meta (though after next Wednesday, maybe not).

I signed the petition.

Am I hypocrite? I think another version of me would think so.

I signed up because nobody else would take me on by the time they offered me something. After having only 3 months of work out of 18 months, with savings depleted to zero, facing the prospect of losing health coverage and having to fall back on family, I took the deal.

Hate me if you like. But I have a 40-odd year head start on hating me, so I doubt you'll make any kind of dent.

In any case, pushing back, anyhow, anywhere, is better than nothing. Let's not get stuck in HN's favorite argumentative shortcut, the Nirvana Fallacy.

I'm very surprised that fb took you on but nobody else would. Why do you think that was?
