So - the tesla driving facebookers get a day off from work - paid - not even using their vacation - and this is a walkout?

Are they forfeiting their stock to protest facebooks offensive conduct?

This is the look at me style of protesting.

Quit your job and work a better company if you think facebook is a scum company.

The whole point of a walkout is to cost the company money. If they forfeited their stocks and used up vacation time it wouldn’t be nearly as effective. Also why go straight to quitting when you can keep your job and change the company?

This I think illustrates nicely how privileged and out of touch Facebook engineers are.

I demand the right to protest my own employer. Facebook: Sure

I demand the right to take unplanned time off to protest even if it disrupts operations. Facebook: Sure

I demand to post my feelings on my company email autoreply so other employees and customers are informed of my opinion via company resources. Facebook: Sure.

I demand to get paid for my time off. Facebook: Sure - we give you lots of generous PTO and don't really track you that carefully in terms of hours worked.

I demand to get paid for my unplanned time designed to disrupt operations to protest my employers actions and post my feelings on company email including communication with customers / partners and get paid for this WITHOUT using PTO (but as regularly working hours). Facebook: Sure!!
