If this is how they treat their employees, I hate to think how they treat their customers.

If you don't walk out after such rules, then what would you make to do so?

There is not enough pushback against this.

I don't think anyone is fully comfortable with it but it is considered "standard practice".

It wasn't such a huge issue until recently because processing all of this was a burden, but obviously this can be automated very well now.

The trend is genuinely dystopian.

Given it's Meta, I'd put roughly zero trust in the opt out actually being respected.

The movie Antitrust but on steroids in real life. Also the Crossover white collar sweatshop ended up as trendsetter.

Sick company environment.

That's generous!

In many cases they pay really well I heard, so I'm not too bothered by it. If you are a high paid specialist and you do not like how you are treated, you can go and find another, friendlier, job.

For low paid workers I have more sympathy: if you have no options but to be tracked and pee in bottles and ... whatnot; that's just sad. We need better labour law to protect them.

Also all corporates that did anti-unionizing and never got punished for this are simply criminals operating above the law at this point. We know many FAANG++ did it.

In 1984, high ranking members of the party could turn off their telescreens for 30 minutes without suspicion.

This is great, I hope the people at Meta suffer as much as possible while working for them. They should introduce mandatory eyeball sanders next.

Working as a dev at Meta has become like working a call center. Zuck lost the plot.
