Counter point. This is always inevitably a thing. They were only making the implicit explicit.
No, not to the extent that it was and is the case at FB. I think people who haven't worked at FB don't quite understand the degree to which PSC culture pervades the company. It's absolutely more intense than Google, Apple or Microsoft, though I'm not as sure about Amazon. Valve seems differently intense in a way that I think is a negative overall.
A bit pithy, but: The goal of most enterprises is to build useful goods and services for its customers. The goal of Meta is to evaluate its employees.
