You do know that meta doesn't only have high level jobs, right? There cannot just be middle managers everywhere without the bog standard workers.
What kind of perception do you have of tech giants? That all who work there are some kind of imaginary elite?
The majority of their hires are experienced profiles. "Bog standard" worker in Meta is already a pretty high paying job as entry level work is massively outsourced.
That's not at all what i'm saying. I'm saying if you can land a job at Meta then you can absolutely find a job elsewhere. There is nobody in the world who is stuck between an empty belly and accepting a position at Meta. They're just stuck between making good money somewhere, and making better money at Meta.
Noooo everyone at meta is making at minimum 300,000 a year.
They poach their janitors
I would imagine their janitors don't actually work for meta, but are provided via a complex web of contracts that helps them pay the janitors as little as possible, while enriching a middle man who does... little...
Exactly. Mega corps don't touch entry level work, they do exactly as you say and pay a friend of theirs so that this friend can steal wages from poor people and guarantee them floor-level prices.
