Zuckerberg ha dicho que 2023 es el "año de la eficiencia" https://finance.yahoo.com/news/meta-just-gave-thousands-employees-154559784.htmlCitarMeta just gave thousands of employees poor performance reviews that could clear the way for more layoffs during its ‘Year of Efficiency’Just months after Meta laid off 11,000 employees, there are signs the company could be preparing for another wave of cuts.The parent company of Facebook and Instagram has reportedly ranked thousands of employees as “subpar” in a recent wave of performance reviews. And that’s raising fears among workers that more belt-tightening is on the way.Those concerns come after CEO and founder Mark Zuckerberg declared 2023 a “year of efficiency” at the company on an earnings call at the beginning of February. Meta also did away with a bonus metric, the Wall Street Journal reports.Managers gave about 10% of the company’s workers poor reviews. It is, in some ways, a return to Meta’s pre-pandemic review process, where Zuckerberg was said to be less than gentle with his assessments of workers.The threat of additional layoffs comes just days after the company delayed finalizing budgets. Zuckerberg, in a Facebook post earlier this month, wrote “We’re working on flattening our org structure and removing some layers of middle management to make decisions faster, as well as deploying AI tools to help our engineers be more productive. As part of this, we’re going to be more proactive about cutting projects that aren’t performing or may no longer be as crucial.”Seemingly safe from the cuts is Meta’s metaverse division. While Horizon Worlds has failed to engage users, including some who work at the company, and the Reality Labs division was responsible for $13.7 billion in losses last year, Zuckerberg remains committed to it.Other divisions do not seem to have that protected status.“We closed last year with some difficult layoffs and restructuring some teams.,” Zuckerberg said in his post. “When we did this, I said clearly that this was the beginning of our focus on efficiency and not the end.”

Lo único que han hecho es convertir internet y la sociedad en un estercolero.Sólo quedan algunos foros como este mismo (Reddit es algo parecido pero controlado por otra compañía y con una interfaz de mierda, incluyendo la versión "old") que aún guardan un parecido con la internet anterior.
This study provides the first evidence that the stance of monetary policy has implicationsfor the stability of the financial system. A loose stance over an extended period of time leads to increased financial fragility several years down the line. The source of this fragility is associated with swings in those financial variables that have been identified by the literature as harbingers of financial turmoil.Policymakers should take the dangers imposed by keeping policy rates low for long seriously, and thus weigh the potential short-run gains of loose monetary policy against potentially adverse medium-term consequences. Such policies increase the risk of financial crises and thus the risk of high social, political, and economic costs
China Launches PE Investment Pilot to Boost Property IndustryChina said it is launching a pilot program for real estate private equity investment funds as part of efforts to promote the property industry.The investment scope of the funds would include residential housing, commercial property and infrastructure projects, the China Securities Regulatory Commission said in a statement Monday.Investors in the pilot products have to put in no less than 10 million yuan ($1.5 million) and would mainly be institutional investors, according to the statement. It was unclear when and where the pilot would start.Chinese regulators unveiled a sweeping plan late last year to revive the slumping housing industry, focusing mainly on the supply side by pledging financial support to cash-strapped developers. China’s home prices steadied in January, ending a 16-month decline after the government expanded stimulus policies for the sector.
Dentro de lo malo, Facebook ha sido tan descarado que ha caído por su propio peso, incluso más rápido de lo que me habría imaginado.Cuando empezó a pegar duro, allá por 2008, fue un bombazo. No tanto por crear algo nuevo -ya existía mySpace- como por hacer una integración de varias cosas de publicación de contenidos que no se había visto antes. Con facilidad de uso ante todo, sólo WhatsApp replicó algo parecido después.Pero empezó a agotarse rápido, sobre todo por los problemas de privacidad. Escoció mucho que hubiese gente que perdiese sus puestos de trabajo o entrevistas por salir en una foto con una jarra de cerveza en la mano, sin importar si era un momento de su vida privada o no. Zuckerberg no sólo no atajó esto sino que lo empeoró. Resultado: pérdida de confianza, y para cuando Instagram ya estaba en auge Facebook empezó a hundirse.Toda la porquería que se hizo luego de segmentar la publicidad no hizo más que echar sal en la herida. El remate final: cuando dejó de funcionar el truco de abrir Facebook en países emergentes -para tapar la pérdida de actividad en mercados maduros-, vino lo de Meta.Cualquiera que tenga algo de idea de gestión empresarial sabe que jamás, jamás se debe intentar tapar o arreglar problemas de base con un producto o servicio milagro. Las FAANG están pasando un momento duro -sólo se libra Apple ahora mismo-, pero lo de Facebook es para echarle de comer aparte. ¿Conocen ustedes a alguien que lo echaría de menos si cerrase hoy?
"Este término explica cómo la demanda de un producto o servicio se reduce después de una temporada de gran éxito. La metáfora visual de este fenómeno es muy sencilla, pues al descorchar una botella, la bebida sale y se derrama con fuerza durante los primeros segundos, para posteriormente perder esa energía".
Donde la gente ve una red social, las agencias gubernamentales norteamericanas ven un archivo de personas que ni la Stasi hubiera soñado. Y lo mejor, todo aportado voluntariamente por los usuarios y sin que ningún agente del Gobierno tenga que mover un dedo.
En otro orden de cosas......o en el mismo.Estoy mirando eso que se ha dado en llamar Fin-Tech.Me da la impresión de todo consiste en intentar venderles a los millenials y zetas un producto que les da cosita contratar como siempre se ha hecho y ellos lo hacen por el móvil y tal que ya se sabe que todo lo que va por el teléfono es bueno.Eso por el lado de lo que se dice que se vende y a lo que se dice que se dedica la empresa.Por el lado de lo que hace la empresa...y en lo que realmente consiste el negocio.DAVE. Un falso banco para los nativos digitales. Capto unos 500 millones de financiación, se decía, justo antes de su salida a bolsa que su valoración era de 4.000 millones. Una vez realizada la IPO y dado el pase de la muerte, este es el resultado:DAVE Inc 8.71 USD-306.81 (-97.24%)all timeLo que supone que su capitalización bursátil es de unos 100 millones.CHIME. Más de lo mismo. Puedes abrirte una especie de cuenta corriente en la que depositar dinero y retirarlo y te dan una Visa. No son un banco así que las cuentas corrientes están realmente en otros bancos. Ellos solo ingresan una parte de la comisión VISA cuando pagas en una tienda.Evidentemente eso es una ruina. Supongo que su esperanza era que todos los Z se hiciesen una visa con ellos y comprasen mucho.Estos tenían preparada la IPO para marzo y pensaban salir por 35.000 millones (estos, sólo en la última ronda captaron 750 millones). Evidentemente en lo operativo no saben lo que es ganar dinero y ya han salido dos veces en las listas de las tecnológicas haciendo layoffs. El pase está muy, muy difícil. Aquí se van a quedar pillados.CHIME8.71 USD-306.81 (-97.24%)all timeROBINHOOD. En sus cuentas de 2022 pone que perdieron 1000 millones, en 2021 furon 3.600 millones de pérdidas, pero oye el año de la pandemia...¡garnaron 14 millones! CA-TOR-CE.Tienen la IPO difícil también, así que otro pase de la muerte frustrado.PAGAYA (a pesar del nombre son una fintech de Nueva York)1.23 USD-8.54 (-87.41%)all timeSalió a bolsa por 8.500 millones cuando antes de la IPO había captado 350 millones. Lo cierto es que su capitalización es todavía de 837 millones. Bueno, el pase en este caso ha sido todo un éxito.
