Meta layoffs are the latest sign that constant job cuts are the new Big Tech normal
Was laid off earlier this year. My org was incredibly top heavy. More seniors than anything else. We had more directors and vps per employee than ive ever seen. The bloated top were making way more and doing way less. too much direction, not enough engineering. Guess who got let go? More ICs than leaders. "Why aren't our dwindling resources doing anything" tech keeps asking. More on reddit.com

Meta layed off more 2000 people across Whatsapp Instagram and Reality Labs
They keep needing to fire employees who have highly appreciated unvested stock grants. That's why they're simultaneously hiring and firing - new employees won't have massively appreciated unvested stock grants. This is the inherent issue with giving out a big chunk of compensation as stock. More on reddit.com

March 12, 2025 - The next round of layoffs will see more cuts in recruiting, plus sales and marketing orgs, according to the WSJ. According to public WARN records, which are reported by companies to California by law, the last round of cuts disproportionately affected employees from certain teams, affecting more software engineers in Instagram than WhatsApp. Meta publicly stated that it is seeking to reduce the layers of management in its organization, so it is likely that more managers will be let go this time around, or asked to return to IC or hybrid IC-manager roles as the organization undergoes flattening.

October 18, 2024 - While we can’t say for sure, the layoffs seem to be part of realigning resources for these ambitious projects that they’re hoping will pay off. There’s also the possibility that it’s about keeping shareholders happy in the short run, but with rising competition, Meta likely sees the need to adapt quickly to stay relevant (just look at their radical rebranding).
