I am having difficulty how public companies can go from wanting to hire anything with a pulse to regretting they have staff. Is this a demonstration that management was clueless last month when massively hiring? Clueless now by massively downsizing? Or just unable to really understand their markets, products and needs?
Private companies, yeah, they operate under different guidelines. But Meta (for example) was considered to be loaded.
It seems unwise for a CEO to say this. How is this not affecting morale? If you work at Meta, wouldn't this motivate you to update your resume and start looking?
Even if nobody at Meta gets paid off, this is going to affect everything everyone does negatively.
I worked at Meta for 2 years and the pressure to land features while keeping up on your code review/LoC metrics was a fucking nightmare during the boom times.
I can only imagine how shitty it will get with the specter of layoffs floating around
I live near a Facebook office and have years of consulting experience. If I show up willing to work in the office and eat shit till shit gets done, would that be a breath of fresh air, or is there an institutional resistance to productivity?
