First of all, when people say "Facebook employee" they think of people who work on the facebook website/app. It is very likely that this person is not one of them. There's nothing wrong with that, but the problem is they are intentionally hiding this to make this sensational.
I forgot the technical term for this but I know this is some sort of dishonesty through omission.
Second, this person drives a Mercedes and is complaining about how she can't get an apartment because the rent is $2000. This is disgusting. There are tons of people in Silicon Valley and San Francisco who have it much much worse and they survive. If you don't make enough money to get a rent for $2000/month, you simply don't live that life, simple as that. I know a lot of people live in Oakland and other suburbs who live just fine with much lower rent.
Overall I am sick of mainstream media manipulating the crowd this way and people who think they can get a break by stepping on others like this.
I do agree that just saying she works for Facebook and not having any information is inflammatory. But you should agree that the cost of living in Silicon Valley / SF is high; period.
So are you saying they're trying to mess with Zucker? sure sounds like it.
"The cost of living in SV/SF is high, period" has nothing to do with the narrative this article is trying to spin. There are a lot of places in the world where the cost of living is high, and people live just fine. Sure you won't enjoy high standard of living, but that's the choice you make as an adult. This lady is not some special case. I'm sure there are other coworkers who have the same salary as her who find ways to live just fine instead of "being homeless" and trying to dramatize it by pitching to some mainstream media that wants to get traffic from the sensational article.
> So are you saying they're trying to mess with Zucker? sure sounds like it.
No it doesn't sound like it. That's your twisted interpretation.
