>Among some Meta employees, the process of reapplying for jobs within a limited window internally is known as a sort of human-resources purgatory they call the β€œ30 Day List.”

I mean from the article it’s pretty clear giving employees a month to find a new job internally is more like Hunger Games than some guarantee you will be successful. It sounds like a way for companies to not have to admit they are doing layoffs.

Especially as it's not obvious how much headcount the other teams have.

i.e. giving not-cut (the profitable/successful) teams a 1% headcount increase and cutting 10% of total staff is roughly equivalent to a 9% layoff.
