Can someone help me make sense of this?

Meta, worth $1.82 trillion with a stock price of $719.80, just cut 3,600 people with nothing but a cold, soulless email and it’s got me reflecting.

I’ve been laid off before, so I know the gut punch. My heart goes out to the 3,600 people caught in Meta’s latest purge.

Let this be a reminder: No company is your family. No matter how loyal you are, they can drop you tomorrow without a second thought.

So, take your damn vacations. Burn through that PTO. If your kids are sick, be there. Stop checking emails after hours and on weekends. Because no matter how hard you grind or how dedicated you are, these companies aren’t loyal to you.

Meta just axed thousands of people—was that really necessary? Corporate America has zero loyalty. You’re just a number, easily replaced and forgotten.

Here’s the truth: Real job security is the one you create. Stop giving your nights and weekends to a company that would drop you in a heartbeat. Build your own thing—a side hustle, investments, whatever keeps you in control.

Because when Plan A disappears, you better have a Plan B.
