Meta's New Reality: Record High Profits. Record Low Morale

Meta는 약 8,000명, 전체 인력의 10%에 달하는 대규모 감원을 예고하며 직원들의 사기가 역사적으로 최저 수준에 이르렀다. AI 개발을 위한 직원 활동 추적 소프트웨어 설치, 급여 격차 확대, 법적 패소, 핵심 엔지니어 강제 부서 이동 등이 복합적으로 부정적 분위기를 조성하고 있다. 반면 최고 AI 인재와 고액 연봉자만이 상대적으로 안정적인 상황이며, 일부 영국 직원들은 노동조합 결성을 추진 중이다. 이러한 내부 불만은 채용에도 부정적 영향을 미치고 있으며, Meta는 AI 투자 확대와 데이터센터 지출 증가를 지속하고 있다.

Cybersecurity Pros Feel Undervalued as Pay Lags

Cybersecurity pros are feeling underappreciated and overworked, with over 75% not getting a pay rise last year and nearly half feeling undervalued. This disconnect is sparking dissatisfaction, with many considering a career move.

I had a dicussion about Ford and Trump and I drove the point that what made Ford successful were counter to Trumps policies. How the two are like apples and oranges. Ford increased pay, Trump has increased cost, while firing and reducing pay/purchasing power.

Increasing wages enhances consumer purchasing power, giving workers more disposable income to spend on goods and services. This boost in purchasing power drives demand, benefiting businesses across various sectors. Higher consumer spending stimulates local economies and creates a positive cycle of economic activity. Additionally, elevating wages leads to improved worker morale, reduced turnover, and increased productivity. When employees feel valued and adequately compensated, they are more likely to invest effort and loyalty in their jobs, contributing positively to a company’s bottom line and overall economic growth.

By increasing wages, fewer workers will rely on government assistance programs, which reduces the burden on taxpayers and allows government funds to be redirected toward infrastructure, education, and healthcare—areas that promote long-term economic stability. While tariffs may aim to protect domestic industries, they often result in unintended consequences, such as higher prices for consumers and retaliatory measures from trading partners. Tariffs can distort market dynamics, potentially leading to job losses in sectors reliant on global supply chains. In contrast, investing in wages fosters a more equitable and stable economy, as evidenced by historical data indicating that periods of rising wages often coincide with economic expansion, unlike tariffs which can lead to contraction and instability.
