If there are layoffs, there will be very few. What we will see is a whole bunch of people being put on PIPs which are all but impossible to pass. So instead of paying people severance, employees will find themselves fired for "poor performance" or whatever else. Perfectly legal and perfectly in line with wanting to save money.

There is no end to Mark Zuckerberg's greed.
@xsj that’s OP’s point they are not filing warn s because they are planning to abuse PIPs. Firing people (usually the weakest links but not always) for “performance” to avoid severance packages. PIPs are the worst way to go, all those affected will be disgruntled and leave meta fired up with a bitter venomous rage. Have no respect for leaders and companies who engage in such practices, especially when they are filthy rich already.
If this his true then you should see an uptick this week and the plans would be 30, 60, 90days because this is the beginning of the 3rd quarter. The whole point of layoffs would be to make the "street" happy with the quarterly numbers. However, if they are doing layoffs you should see a WARN notice going out this month if they want to realize the cost savings for this quarter.
