If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

If you are going to work for Farcebook, do not.

That could well apply to Twatter as well with the new owner.

Who rattled your cage? 
Farcebook are laying off 11,000 employees: Twatter is getting rid of half of it's staff. Neither is good news for the employees, or probably the company - that's the comparison I was making. And "celebrities" with huge numbers of followers are already abandoning Twatter: Stephen Fry deletes his Twitter account and joins new social network amid Elon Musk's takeover | The Sun[^]
No soapbox needed here.
[edit]
And now Twatter is trying to get some of the ones they fired to stay ...

They're getting rid of more than half their staff. 50% is just the ones being sacked directly. To save on severance costs they're also massively changing the workplace experience by revoking work from home privileges and demanding 100+ hour per week sleep in the office death marches from anyone who avoided the initial mass sacking.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Well I'm glad you laughed back. I'm not quite sure what triggered me. I have very little sympathy for employees who participate in the nonsense that twitter, face book, google, Microsoft push.

Oh no. Anyway.
Really, FB paid a heckton, destroyed the economy of an entire area (not on their own, mind you) by doing so and now terminates a lot of fattened chicken. Also experience in FB is a good qualification for a lot of jobs - jobs I wouldn't do unless paid astronomically but veritable gold mines for the army of "codez urgnt plz" that's out and about.

Facebook (now Meta) had insane salaries, just like Google and a couple of big names. That meant that
- They attracted flocks of employees in search of easy money.
- Everything in that area had hyper-inflated prices because now it was full of grossly overpaid kids ready to throw money around like candies.
- Then they get periodically downsized and these people require even more money because they burned all they got and they can claim better past salaries. The prices in that area are still hyper-inflated though.
