Tech! Meta laid off 8,000 employees heading into the AI era amid a tense office atmosphere. ⚖️
Recently, there has been a big news shock in the tech industry when Meta implemented a 10% reduction, or about 8,000 employees worldwide, on May 20 to restructure and focus on AI development at full strength. 🤖
But what's interesting, not losing the termination numbers, is the "atmosphere" in the office that a former employee who went through the 2022 and 2023 terminations revealed that the period before the announcement was so tense that it was likened to the "end of the world" of working people! 🤯
🎒 Echoes from insiders told of the concerns raised:
🤐 uncomfortable working atmosphere, people hiding their eyes and quiet meetings.
😰 Even those who "survived" the dismissal did not celebrate, because many were full of concerns that they might be pulled into the AI army or endured coaching a system that would replace themselves in the future.
The former employee also left this situation to think...
"There's no longer a place to work, but it's a waiting room to get a verdict."
