I hope they do too. I don't know who Bosworth is or if he's implementing officially decided policy here, but I hope he is.

It's been incredibly unhealthy for tech firms to cowtow to every whim of their most extreme employees. I spent years at Google and it was astonishing sometimes the ludicrous crybaby behaviour some engineers could get away with. When it was just complaints about the food or reskinning a product it was not that dangerous. Now it's become a tool of all out political warfare, it's well past time these employees are told to get a grip or leave. Facebook won't suffer for it, it'll benefit - yes they may have a marginally smaller workforce, but which would they prefer? A slightly lower number of A/B experiments on their new dating product or whatever the marginal recent increase in headcount is working on? Or a happier and healthier internal atmosphere for all?
