    Meta plans to lay off about 10 percent of its nearly 80,000 employees on Wednesday, with notices going out to affected workers’ personal and corporate email addresses at 4 am in their local time zone, according to a company-wide memo sent on Monday.

    What an insane way to do things. How is ensuring that the majority of your employees either stay up way too late or wake up really early (after a likely restless night’s sleep) smack in the middle of the week going to improve efficiency in any way?

      Bain or whoever greased the layoff meat grinder for Meta probably recommended it, mainly to avoid anyone coming into work that was laid off and causing a scene.

      The industry servicing huge companies basically have one job: help the billionaire owners avoid having to confront any human-to-human responsibility for the damage they do.
