Zuckerberg employees scoff at Meta’s new corporate values

The values ​​that existed up to this point were formulated back in 2007, and a lot has changed since then.

: The metaverse will capture a quarter of the people in four years

The company now has a global community and broad influence, and is building a metaverse that builds the future of social connections, founder Mark Zuckerberg explained on Facebook.

There are six values ​​in total:

• Move fast (Move Fast);
• Focus on long-term planning (Focus on Long-Term Impact);
• Create awesome things (Build Awesome Things);
• Live in the future (Live in The Future);
• Be direct and respect your colleagues (Be Direct and Respect Your Colleagues);
• Meta, metamates, I (Meta, metamates, me).

The last value, about being good stewards of the company and mission, is a reference to the navy adage “Ship, ship’s crew, I” (Ship, shipmates, self).

The Washington Post, however, writes that the new values ​​​​were ridiculed by some employees within the company – they considered them “ideological processing” divorced from reality.

On internal forums, employees tagged the new message with a heart emoji, but in private conversations, according to The New York Times, they expressed skepticism.

In addition, one employee was confused by the reference to a naval admonition:

“Does this mean we are on a sinking ship?”

Zuckerberg himself, however, emphasized that while working at Meta, employees commit to apply these values ​​in their daily work.

In particular, will have to build and learn faster than anyone else, to look several steps ahead at once and release really awe-inspiring things.

He also urged the company’s employees to be straightforward, but show respect for the expertise of colleagues.

• The Metaverse can be compared to the successor to the Internet, where the physical and digital worlds are merged with the help of computer avatars. It kind of reminds me of The Sims.
• The life of avatars will become an immersive experience in virtual reality with tactile, sound and other sensations of avatars. Meta, for example, will create digital copies of people.
• Thanks to the metaverse, virtual birthdays, weddings and other digital events have become available, and global brands make virtual goods there – for example, Nike promises to put avatars in their sneakers.
