WhatsApp owned by Meta needs only about 1K to run. So, why does Meta need 80k+?
I fail to understand.

You won't be laughing when the metaverse takes off and travel is banned forever due to covid.
All the job interviewers who were asked questions in engineering job interviews like: "How would you design facebook?" and such nonsense questions when their resumes spoke bright on say networking protocol development skills or operating systems skills etc - such brilliant minds are likely having the last laugh
Growth trap, you have to throw all the money off the sidelines as a public company. The shareholders expect constant growth and then ditch and layoff when that idiocy doesn't last forever.
Meta only needs 3k employees, WhatsApp can do with just 40 employees.
Meta should cut all the free breakfast/lunches/dinner. No free shuttle to/from work.
Did you see that video of 23-yr old enjoying herself on Meta's dime? Take a look at the link below:

Hes going to take the Musk approach. Expect layoffs in the 15-20 percent range. Google is next with massive layoffs. May too many people working there as well.

Why does Meta need 80k+ employees?
Obviously they don't. That's why the hatchet is going to come down hard, again and again and again.
To keep facebook pages up and running, security, censorship, customer sales/marketing for ads, new projects, metaverse, support engineers/coders, etc. Perhaps instead of cutting employees ( or cutting minimum amount of employees) and their benefits in the upcoming severe recession, they should cut employee pay or employee working hours. This way people can still keep their health benefits and still get paid enough to pay the bills during these inflationary times. Or perhaps offer a voluntary retirement package.
