In his memo, Zuckerberg predicted that even more difficult days could be ahead for the company, despite vowing to hold off on any future layoffs for the rest of the year.

“Given the complexity of these changes, we’ve made mistakes and will almost certainly make more,” he admitted.

"I will certainly make more mistakes that you will have to pay for, but I can promise you you will probably not be laid off for at least six months."

vowing to hold off on any future layoffs

He didn't say anything about holding off past layoffs. Get ready for some retroactive shitcanning.

he means he will likely force layoffs on the already "skeleton crewed" staff in the future anyways.

It's because when you write assholes well, assholes can't help but deliver.

“I’m going to make a bunch of mistakes that will cost the company a lot of money and will cost many of you your jobs. But fret not, because I will experience zero consequences for this and will continue to deserve millions for being so smart and taking on all the risk.”

He's just announcing the next wave of layoffs for the Christmas holidays.

Do you honestly believe he is going to stick to the moratorium?

Id sooner believe he tasks AI-zuckerberg to lay them off.

technically I didn't lay anyone off.

I can also promise you that at the end of this, I will have a yacht and bunker, and you will probably have impostor syndrome.

Fair deal eh?

even more difficult days could be ahead

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

Now that's a evil boss thing to say.
