Thread regarding Meta / Facebook layoffs

Latest Rumored Layoff Numbers

This is per several posts floating in different threads and forums:

  • 15% total
  • 5% of eng
  • 50% of recruiting
  • Major FBapp reorg
  • Directors find out today (Tues) who will be impacted on their team
  • Impacted individuals will find out on Wed morning
  • Offices closed on Wednesday

Updates:

  • AFAIK there has been no office closure communicated, many still waiting to hear on that (if it happens)
  • People will be notified at 6am EST tomorrow morning
  • Many directors and managers are still in the dark outside of knowing that layoffs are coming. Those who know don’t appear to be saying much.
  • 4+ months severance for those impacted
  • Some are saying this is a large first wave, and that more will follow in the coming months.

If eng is 50% of company with 5% cut, then it means 35% cut for non eng.

I agree we need some eng cut and 50% management cut.

Now everything here is about management.

I thought we had a strong engineering culture here but nope, fully bureaucratic huge corp now.

I'm glad it's downsizing.

Hopefully I'm not in the downsize though, LOL.

That'd be huge.
