I wondered how all that expensive hiring would impact employee's feelings related to working at Meta as to how much money the new AI staff is getting paid relative to their own pay.
Imagine this, you worked for Meta for X long time then you look over at your colleague and she/he is earning multiple times your highest income and they just started. Mmm, talk about a complicated working environment.
Almost every company on earth has this. I worked in car sales where I was making 5x some people, working the same hours. Yet there was a superstar making 50% more than ME (so 7-8x some other salespeople) and worked less hours, AND took Sunday off.
The general manager took Saturday and Sunday off, and made 400k a year. (This was a large dealership).
The headlines are going to write themselves. What could go wrong with putting a group of startup people together, who never worked at a big corporate company together? The task isn't to "create superintelligence" (whatever that is), it's to fluff Zuckerberg's ego.
And the fact they are hiring these researchers, it's the same logic as hiring Einstein and asking him to "discover" a new theory for you. Science, thank god, doesn't care about money or who you are.
these employees should understand that if they would have delivered, the new hires would not have taken their place. At some level your pay is not tied to seniority, but impact on the organization. If the new hires do not deliver, they will see the door faster than anyone else in the company.
Huh? In a large company you can deliver everything you are allowed to deliver and more and not make impacts or not get credit for them that translates to the salary any new hire gets when there is a supply gap.

The mechanics made from $40k to $120k a year.
Suggestion to mods: Lowercase the "S" in "swift". Very confusing otherwise.
Agreed, it got me for a few seconds
Yeah I knew I was misreading but still thought of this. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30416070
