Tech Layoffs Caused by Vain Over-Hiring for ‘Fake Work’, Argues Former PayPal Executive
The thousands of layoffs in Big Tech are thanks to an over-hiring spree to satisfy the “vanity” of bosses at the likes of Meta and Alphabet, according to a member of the so-called PayPal Mafia. Speaking remotely at an event hosted by banking firm Evercore, Silicon Valley VC Keith Rabois said Meta and Google had hired thousands of people to do “fake work” to hit hiring metrics out of “vanity”.
Rabois, who was an executive at PayPal in the early 2000s alongside Tesla CEO Elon Musk, said the axing of droves of jobs is overdue. “All these people were extraneous, this has been true for a long time, the vanity metric of hiring employees was this false god in some ways,” Rabois said, according to Insider. “There’s nothing for these people to do — it’s all fake work.

Riot MMO executive producer steps down steps down due to “combo of personal and professional considerations”
Executive producer on the in-development Riot Games MMO, Greg Street, has announced his departure from the company, pointing to “a combo of personal and professional considerations” as his reason for departing.
He also stated on Twitter that he had experienced personal losses last year, leading to a desire to be closer with the rest of his family.
Street had formerly stepped forward to declare Riot’s intention to create an MMORPG, way earlier than is normal for games in the R&D phase of development. This was to generate hype, and to encourage developers to join up and assist in building the project from the ground up.
