It’s definitely not a joke; it’s deliberate propaganda, and Zvi fell for it. This is part of the reason you shouldn’t use Twitter instead of trying to somehow curate it against its intended design.
this seems plausible, but overconfident. the other explanation I come up with is that she simply took a screenshot herself; since it could be faked, it’s possible, but I would bet against it on this one if there were any way to resolve it.
as far as I can tell it’s the first upload of the image on the internet. the link would have to be a retweet of the original uploader. whether it was fake is impossible to say for sure but this seems like the sort of thing that would be plausibly real. if we had a way to resolve this, which we do not, I would buy “it’s real” at 60%.
I don’t think it’s plausibly real. To the extent that there’s truth to “money is often not the main factor why people quit their jobs”, “lack of ping-pong tables can be the reason why people quit their jobs” is not something that HR would sincerely believe. No good exit interview is going to result in “I left the job because we don’t have ping pong tables and the competition has ping pong tables”. That thought sounds more like satire.
That link doesn’t have a source, so it’s very likely that it’s a joke. I think it’s bad to put jokes and real news together.

I expect that it started as satire. Then someone just quoted it and it spread with people taking it seriously.
