Meta Layoff: Next layoff info, helpful resources and referrals

I wanted to create a thread to help affected people (any company). People from other companies please comment if you want impacted people to reach out to you for referral. As I mentioned a couple of days ago (flagged by everyone lol) that Zuck's original plan is to layoff 15-20% employees in short term, today 13% (11k) have been impacted, my source who is not impacted said the next round of layoff at Meta is next Wednesday and could range from 2-5%. That is what currently is planned, but it might change due to public outcry, etc. For long term vision, they will reduce the overall headcount until late 2023 through various means like PIP, natural attrition, small scale layoffs, etc. Apart from that, Zuck will address Metamates at 11 AM PT today and will give more information. And before you guys start to flag this post, the reason I am telling this is because people should be ready for the worst situation. Please start polishing resumes/portfolios and start preparing for interviews if you remotely think that you might be next. For people who are impacted please comment for referral.

Meta vkL6JL Nov 9, 2022

WTF? Round two? Next week? Thanks for the heads up.

Red Hat zjxX38 Nov 9, 2022

I assume for CWs

Meta PBLS44 Nov 9, 2022

Yeah, they mentioned that they'll cut the CW budget and let the third party companies do their picking.

I don't think after this outcry they would do another round so quick. It may be next year depending on the earnings.

Petco soberKid Nov 9, 2022

Why won't they? If they need to stop bleeding, they would do it right away..

Bad press? If that's planned why not just do it once rather than immediately next week that doesn't make any sense.

DocuSign oRei08 Nov 9, 2022

Reminds me almost of fvckedcompany.com back in the day. Iā€™m sure most of you havenā€™t been around long enough for that.

Amazon NARFing Nov 9, 2022

That used to be daily reading for me

Meta LrGV41 Nov 9, 2022

Same here

VMware Jnhm35 Nov 9, 2022

@op what will happen to us after Broadcom takeover? šŸ˜€ are you preparing for changing ship?

Avanade EGdA54 Nov 9, 2022

Yes I read a lot about bad things Broadcom does after it buys didnā€™t VMware get a better buyer?

VMware sdeguys Nov 9, 2022

Same question. But changing ship to where? There is hiring freeze everywhere
