It appears that with all of the cuts being made by the criminal enterprise formerly known as Facebook™, the company has still seen fit to boost Mark Zuckerberg's security budget by 40%, because it appears that mass layoffs might result in a former employee going postal on him.
Seriously, Zuckerberg can pay for his own thugs:
Facebook parent company Meta is slashing costs practically everywhere, but it's not cutting founder Mark Zuckerberg's considerable personal security budget – that's actually getting a $4m boost.
In an SEC filing published yesterday, Meta said Zuck's personal security budget would be increased to a pre-tax allowance of $14 million after having been previously set at $10 million in 2018.
That massive security budget is necessary "to address safety concerns due to specific threats to his safety arising directly as a result of his position as Meta's founder, Chairman, and CEO," the company said in its filing, adding: "Meta requires security measures for the company's benefit because of the importance of Mr Zuckerberg to Meta."
………
As The Register reported in 2017, Zuckerberg's $4.26 million spent in the prior year on private security was nearly four times that of the next most paranoid well-protected tech leader: Amazon's Jeff Bezos, who only used $1.6m on his security in the same period.
Zuckerberg's security costs continue to dwarf those of other tech leaders, and aren't limited to what Meta budgets for him: on top of his $10 million security allowance, Zuck used an additional $13.4 million of Meta money on security in 2020.
If you don't want people in this increasingly gun infested nation to shoot you, perhaps should try to treat your employees decently.
Hell, maybe you should try to start treating the world more decently.
I'm sorry ……… That's just crazy talk.
