In his announcement, Zuckerberg explained: “ Meta, Metamate, Me means to convey our company and our mission in the best way “. The CEO went on to explain that the new denomination is about the sense of responsibility they all have for success and for each other as teammates.
Highlighting the new employee designation , Andrew “Boz” Bosworth, who will soon become Meta's Chief Technology Officer, explained the new philosophy to Alex Heath of The Verge in a tweet.

The point of the post was not only to point out a new nickname for the workers, but also detail the new “company values” after the name change, like change “Be open “ in” Be direct and respect your colleagues “.
