Facebook fired all their Trending editors
- Cozumel 10y ago'According to sources, the Trending team’s editorial staff were alerted at 4pm that they were being fired—as the news of Facebook’s switch to algorithms first broke—and were asked to leave the building by 5pm. The contractors (all of whom were at the company less than 1.5 years) were given severance equal to pay through September 1, plus two weeks, sources say.' Given how much they were all apparently complaining though ( https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/may/17/facebook-trending-news-team-curators-toxic-work-environment https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/may/17/facebook-... ) they must have seen it coming!
