No you don’t. If you knew any people at those companies they’d tell you the layoffs were haphazard and confused.

5 of my close friends work at Meta, and 2 at Google. All engineers.

I visit the NYC Union Square and Hudson Yards offices regularly for dinner, and even the Seattle Westlake and MPK ones whenever I’m visiting. The mood there is much much better post layoffs. Possibly even better than it was pre COVID.

It’s pretty amazing how lively they are, right? Almost as if everyone was asked to return to the office?

That makes no sense. If I had to choose between two people to lay off, why would I get rid of the person that performs better?

Ask Meta and Google.
