When it comes to club websites IMO less is more.

If, on your clubs website, you don't use the exact words "18-hole championship golf course" you are statistical anomaly... just ask Google Gemini.

@mattwiesenfeld We have a winner!

Yo golden age fans. If you want to play Cape Cod CC (Coonamessett CC) a Devereux Emmet and Alfred Tull design, 2026 is your last chance. It's a fun routing with some cool holes (i.e volcano hole). A few custodial mistakes over time, but overall a great layout & reasonable $.

At our summer kids camp we have a class called “fill up the practice buckets”. This young lady is our best student. Also btw AI is not replacing this job #lifeskills

@SHistorians This would be stupid, but as we have often seen (e.g High Speed Rail, Boaty McBoatface ) people will vote for stupid ideas if it triggers an emotional response. 🤞

Double ace day! Congrats Roy!

@TheBG_Show A big push slice on # 2 at GHCC with a little help from the cart barn roof and this is a possibility. No penalty beyond the shame that goes with the shot.

“Culture eats Strategy for breakfast” famous misattributed quote !

[Green Hills Country Club @ULCofSFCC]

The older I get the more I realize that culture is everything… whether it’s a country club or a world leading company. Thanks @jeremybernier for sharing …

Meta was easily the most toxic company I've worked for. There's a reason the Chinese call it "Squid Game". Others refer to it as "Hunger Games" or "Lord of the Flies". I think they're all accurate.

The company culture is basically every man/woman for themselves. The performance review process (PSC) not only doesn't incentivize helping others, if anything it actually discourages it since everyone is stack ranked against each other. Imagine working on a team where every 6 months, one of you is going to get axed. Of course it's going to become toxic.

"Bottoms up" culture is a complete farce - it's just a way for leadership to offload accountability. The Tech Leads (TLs) have all the power - owning the relationships and tribal knowledge to gatekeep projects to their buddies. Managers are "people managers" with limited technical understanding, who basically aggregate TL feedback and create performance review packets to calibrate with other managers and IC7+. The takeaway is that your destiny is in the hands of the TLs, and TLs unlike managers have no responsibility for your career. There are no repercussions for unethical behavior. I've seen managers and TLs throw others under the bus and get away with it.

The only mission bonding the company together is individual self-preservation. Save your own ass to survive for another stock vesting, and throw someone else under the bus if you need to. That's why layoffs rarely impact directors/VPs or tenured IC7+ despite the fact that they're paid by far the most. Even this recent mass layoff that was supposed to "flatten" managers layers barely affected directors/VPs/IC7+, and fell predominantly on M1s - the lowest rung of the management chain.

The culture is extremely performative and focused on box ticking and optics. Everything is about PSC (the performance review system) and perception. This means tons of meetings, useless AI slop posts, and top-down initiatives that don't benefit anyone but maybe help tick off the impact box of some go-getter at the top. Impact is not enough - it has to have sufficient complexity. So complexity is added for complexity's sake.

The org I was in (Facebook ads) is 90% Chinese, and the entire leadership chain up to the VP level is Chinese. Mandarin is the primary language at the office, except in official meetings with non-speakers. Chinese work culture is very different from American work culture, with 996 (9am-9pm, 6 days/week), top-down nature, emphasis on saving face (eg. don't question your superiors), and toxicity being quite common. Naturally when an org is completely dominated by a single ethnicity that's notorious for not integrating, elements from their work culture seep in. Of the layoffs I witnessed in this org, 3/4 were not Chinese (just to be clear, most Chinese are very kind so don't take this as an attack. But it is a reality that I think most people outside this company are completely unaware of, and I question if leadership is even aware despite the fact that we're talking about the company HQ)

I had the most toxic manager of my life here. I watched him deliberately set up a new hire to fail, driving them to needing to see a psychiatrist for anxiety + depression, and getting them fired. Then he suddenly disappeared for 8 months, before leaving the company.

I could go on and on, but this is already pretty long and I think you get the point.

Yes there are a lot of great, kind people here. I managed to transfer out of my first team into a new team with a great manager where everyone was very smart, supportive, and hardworking.

But the company has its Squid Game reputation for a reason. Company culture comes from the top. It seems leadership is either too removed to notice, or maybe don't really care anymore because I guess they already made their billions and us plebs are expendable these days.
