For everyone flocking towards Meta attracted to that high TC remember it is the same company that: 1. Laid off thousands in the last several years, even pre-covid 2. Then wanted to rehire a few folks for lower compensation 3. Has had frequent changes in directions including privacy concerns, a major history of bad decisions and fuck ups by the CEO I know everyone is desperate for a job, but please let's teach these big tech companies a lesson who think they can layoff for fun and start hiring again even before the severance runs out lol. Don't just fall for the high TC, especially when going to Meta, Google and Amazon - 3 companies who've lost all their credibility in the last 5 years. You are just moving from one toxic place to another. 280k
If they double my pay why do I care?
Pay means nothing if you can get laid off again
I like severance
I am starting an interview process because 1) they did a proper large layoff. So the risk of next one is lower than at Google. Where it is constant 10-20 layoffs per day 2) i got stuck on low priority project -> mediocre ratings -> not much salary increase —- So thats it from me.
My ex-Google friend in Meta seems to be doing much much better in Meta. Going to Meta from Google is no doubt the right decision, even if workload is more.
Laid off thousands pre-covid? When was that?
https://www.businessinsider.com/meta-layoffs I remember it was the Oculus layoffs in 2017.
It means a lot because it pays your bills. Ask me who has a hefty student loan and doesn't have anything at hand.
At Least Meta gives generous layoff package. So don’t compare with Amazon.
Layoff is not bad, been through in 2001,08,2019 always found a new job with higher pay. Don't be sissy, take the severence and enjoy it!
Easy when you are not on a visa with a 60-day ultimatum. No one got time to surf the fuck around for a few months before starting to look for a job again if thats what you call being sissy
Ex-META and laid off will get you loads of interest from companies. You will get lowballed like an 85 year old man in a nude sauna but you will get offers.
Someone failed their Meta onsite 😭
Layoff severance was really good with Meta, almost double what Amazon gave
Dude, you know how hard it is to get a job now? Just be thankful that you have a job! Just grab any shitty offer that you can get.
Somehow, we need to take the control back.
We never had any control lol
