What was the thought process on who to layoff at Meta? My observation was that from data engineering and data sciences.. they didn’t lay off the entire team(s).. but, selected individuals only.

Heard lots of rumours of productivity being horrendous since COVID and remote working, engineers working 50% weeks for big money. Probably just a good clean up shop as D1 suggested, but would be interesting if they’ve cut back bit on metaverse (for example)

Layoffs are all the same always. Full teams if the business argument isn't there to keep it. And then picking off the lowest performers across the board. If someone has been annoyed with you, now's their chance to say, lowest performer!

Lots of PM's who were hired post MBA were fired too. Unless you are a AI/ML engineer, you couldn't breathe easy

Not even. Only guy on my team laid off was ML Eng.

The layoffs missed the one person who truly deserves to get canned.
