A Labrador sheds twice a year, so the saying goes—January to June and July to December. Facebook, now doing business as Meta, is trying to shed more than labs, only it’s not hair; it is employees.
Last November, Zuckerbergermeisterbergeristan accented its fourth quarter of 2022 by announcing it would kick 11,000 employees to the curb. We’re nearing the end of Q1 in 2023, and another 10,000 jobs are getting axed.
Do they have Hoovervilles in the Metaverse?
The CEO previously told analysts Meta plans “on cutting projects that aren’t performing or may no longer be crucial” while simultaneously “removing layers of middle management to make decisions faster.”
Are you removing layers? How about the censorship and being Biden and the FBI’s bitch? Could you cut those layers? It’s something simple that could increase revenue as people your fascist speech police had wronged come back to your signature platform.
Not likely. The Tech Sector has been bleeding profusely as big players unleash a multitude of unemployed upon the costly left-coast landscape.
Amazon announced a new round of layoffs in January, impacting 18,000 employees across multiple divisions.
Twilio, Dell, Zoom and eBay also recently disclosed significant reductions to their workforce. In January, Google revealed plans to lay off more than 12,000 workers, Microsoft announced plans to cut 10,000 employees and Salesforce said it planned to cut 7,000 jobs.
You who is not cutting back or streamlining to lower costs? The Federal Government whose tyrannically censorious water you continue to carry. And while that is tragic, what’s truly sad is that many will not even begin to realize as they try to make ends meet in the Biden economy that it’s their damn fault we have this economy.
If you’d just let Trump win, we’d have stayed out of the Ukraine war (it probably never would have started) , not devalued the dollar with trillions in wasteful spending, and continued to have a little extra money because our energy prices would still be low (and inflation not so high. We’d have likely avoided many of the shortages, not to mention something about the ongoing domestic terror war against our infrastructure.
But hey, I understand. You’re so much brighter than we are, which I’m sure will hold you over while you look for a job in a state that murdered gig work.
San Francisco probably needs a few thousand more people to catch rats, pick up dirty needles, and scoop poop. You’ve got to be qualified enough to do that.
