Thread regarding Meta / Facebook layoffs

These are the roles that are getting axed next week

I work in a support role on contract for a senior executive. I hear a lot of chatter about strategy by accident. These are the roles they are eying for layoffs:

  • Recruiters
  • RL
  • Partnerships
  • Non-technical managers
  • UX Research

I know people will say this is fake, but trying to do a service by preparing you for what will be a bloodbath next week. Nobody is happy about what is about to go down.

Thanks for confirming this. I heard the same thing but am surprised about ux research getting cut. Does seem top heavy.

no need to keep up the appearances of a partnership when the feds are literally on the payroll

I assume the partnership roles with the feds are OK?
