Meta’s layoffs spark backlash, employees reject ‘performance-based’ claims: “Cruelest company… Zuck doesn’t care about…”

Meta’s latest round of layoffs has triggered widespread dissatisfaction among employees, with many publicly challenging the company’s justification for job cuts. While Meta claims the layoffs were based on employee performance, several affected workers insist they had strong track records and met company expectations. The layoffs, which impacted over 3,000 employees, have raised concerns about transparency, fairness, and corporate ethics. Employees have taken to anonymous platforms and media outlets to express their frustration, arguing that financial motives, rather than performance, were the primary driving force behind the decision. As Meta continues to navigate financial challenges and invest in AI and metaverse projects, the controversy surrounding its workforce reductions highlights the difficulties faced by even the biggest tech firms in maintaining profitability.
