@MikeIsaac I think it'd be better for meta and employees if they just had fixed length contracts. Seems hard to get work done when company-wide layoffs are happening every month and your goal is to remain employed instead of accomplishing useful things

Why did Meta and Airbnb give $3M combined to elect Xavier Becerra just yesterday? Same reason Chevron, PG&E, and the insurance lobby did. They know he'll protect their profits. They know I won't.

@MikeIsaac I was not here back then, but I know many who were. The difference is 2022-23, employees understood there were external factors that the company was powerless against. I don't think the employees agree this time around that this was unavoidable.

someone smarter than me relayed the point that in 2023, which MZ called “the year of efficiency,” some knew layoffs came amid an overall digital advertising industry downturn (see my '23 article below) contrast that with Meta reporting record revenues last quarter [image]

Doesn't help that many of the laid off folks I've talked to are furious that they've spent the last several months training Meta's AI tools to effectively do their jobs, all while helping the company reach record profits, and then get laid off via ‘[insert here]’ email template.

this, in my opinion, is one of those moments where i think meta execs knew it would be a huge hit morale-wise and probably would be like 2023's “year of efficiency” for a while but could weather it perhaps b/c i'm too close to it re: sources, but vibes feel markedly worse

as Mark Zuckerberg fires ten percent of his workforce b/c of artificial intelligence investments, employees are using Meta's own A.I. to deal with the sting listen to these A.I.-generated layoff songs created and shared internally by employees https://www.nytimes.com/...

have been told indeed for the past month or so it's been hard for people at Meta to actually get any work done b/c why bother? also some would sign off meetings with gallows humor, joking about not knowing whether they'd all be there to finish a project https://x.com/...

Many of the Meta employees I'm in touch with are describing higher than 10 percent laid off from their specific teams. We'll see how it shakes out across the whole org. But so many people are RELIEVED.

The most upset Meta source I have is a person who had been “praying to Poseidon” last night (while on a boat) to get laid off, only to find out this morning that they are one of two people left on their team. Poseidon betrayal.

The vibes are rancid. And as Derek Thompson recently noted on his podcast, vibes may not be as quantifying as pure data, but they are a ~data point~ worth paying attention to — and as the wealth gap continues to grow, with no new jobs in the sector, vibes'll only get more putrid

Number to be cut in Ireland is 2x that of other places — ‘up to’ ~20% (350 people) Biggest multinational cull I can recall in a while. (Means Meta shrunk by half in Dublin last 3 years.) Add ~700 Irish Covalen jobs (Meta outsourcing here) = over 1,000 Meta-related jobs gone

Meta has formally informed the Irish government of its plans to lay people off here. It wants company cuts of 10% and it employs 1,800 here (40% less than 3 years ago) Comes just after record quarterly profits of $ 26bn — almost $ 1bn every three days https://www.independent.ie/.…
