What a week. Meta performed its first layoff in the company's 18 year existence. 11,000 employees were notified early Wednesday morning that their roles were being eliminated, 13% of all full time employees. Here is how things went down. These are my personal recollection of events and any opinions or thoughts/feelings expressed are my own.
thanks so much for writing this up. This was a very sad and difficult moment for a lot of people in tech. A reflection like this is truly meaningful.
I also feel that Meta managed this in almost the best & organized way for a massive "event" like this. It's not a complete open book, but the transparency in Meta is still so much better than other companies at its scale.
