The thing is once you kill your culture it’s dead.
It is replaced with a new shittier culture, one where nobody wants to show their personality or put themselves out there and possibly piss off a vindictive HR.

Did anyone tell him that "the beatings will continue until morale improves" is meant to be sarcasm?
One more pizza party oughta do it.
Reading the article, it appears that Zuckerberg is trying to get his staff back operating like they are a startup with events like a hackathon. That his staff are no longer participating is indicating that they aren't treating Meta like a startup any more.
It isn't that Zuckerberg wants his staff to act like they are having fun, but to get back into a startup mentality where they will hopefully over perform and are instead treating it as a job where there isn't an incentive to work harder.
Meta's new motto: Eat drink and be merry, for tomorrow you may die!
