Facebook is good at making friends. That much was clear at a public hearing Monday night on an environmental report on Facebook's plans for its Menlo Park headquarters. Related story:

45% of Facebook employees paid below median income? Doesn't that sound extremely unlikely, given the nature of this business? Surely they don't have lots of hourly employees in low skill jobs?

Perhaps Facebook is trying to give itself a facelift. I once attempted to apply for a job there but couldn't get past their drop-down dialog box that forced me to enter a year of graduation date. Unfortunately, the years stopped at 1980... so much for EOE at Facebook. I believe that's changed--that is, the drop-down dialog box no longer exists on their online application site, but I do wonder how Facebook feels about job candidates older than 50 or if any unemployed person over 50 in that training program will ever be offered anything by Facebook.

Of course they have employees making below median. What do you thInk- that they're highly compensated, 100%? I know managers there who can't afford to buy around here. They also have plenty of lower comped professionals, such as admins & marketeers.
