r/Layoffs on Reddit: Meta Layoffs - How’s everyone feeling?
February 10, 2025 -

Nothing to say. Tired of these companies laying people off left, right, and centre. I know so many great people working at all such companies and this kind of ‘low performance’ layoffs are so disheartening and demotivating for people. I’ve heard people say that it leaves a black mark on people and their careers will be ruined at least temporarily. I don’t think that’s gonna happen honestly. People have short memories and no one is sitting and keeping track of who got laid off/ when etc.

However, how’s everyone feeling? It’s a sad bad day.
