The party is over. It’s time to grow up, Zuckerberg seems to be saying.
One last tip to reflect on, while you're on your way home: "I encourage each of you to focus on what you can control. That is, do great work and support your teammates."
Tech workers: Welcome to a normal boss and a normal company.
"In our Year of Efficiency, we are focused on canceling projects that are duplicative or lower priority and making every organization as lean as possible," Zuckerberg wrote in a blog post.
He continued: "As part of the Year of Efficiency, we’re focusing on returning to a more optimal ratio of engineers to other roles. It’s important for all groups to get leaner and more efficient to enable our technology groups to get as lean and efficient as possible."
He used the word "efficiency" fully a dozen times, including three times in the first two paragraphs. These two paragraphs are a catch-all of classic corporate lingo that says everything and nothing: "improve our financial performance," "difficult environment," "execute," "optimize," "workstreams," "processes," "changes," "uncertainty," and "focus."
He sounds like the CEO of a traditional company. His post is a manual, a guide that other tech CEOs will use as well.
The tone is cold. And it changed. In November, when Zuckerberg announced the elimination of 11,000 jobs, he played the sensitive chord. He apologized.
"I want to take accountability for these decisions and for how we got here," the CEO said at the time. "I know this is tough for everyone, and I’m especially sorry to those impacted."

I will have less of a presence on The Torrid Tribe Community. We have very little activity here. This is a sign to me that members have found other social media resources that they are spending more time in. I am happy to see less censorship on social media in general. I started The Torrid Tribe 4 years ago when we were in a state of censorship and lockdowns. It was a difficult time and this was a haven and sanctuary for so many.
I will be lightly posting things here to give you all content to see. This community will always be open to everyone and will resurrect to its full capacity if subscribers show they want it fully operational again with full time administration.
Thank you for being a part of this community. Sending each of you hugs.
