Its probably too early to tell how this pandemic will impact software engineers. There have been plenty of high profile layoffs, but there are also plenty of companies that are going gang busters right now (zoom, netflix, etc..). However, I would not be surprised if Facebook did some internal polling of their employees and saw really high levels of interest in leaving the Bay areas[1]. So its possible that the salary adjustments were brought up as a way to counterbalance the interest levels. If 2/3 of company decides to just pick up and leave the Bay area, that could cause some problems.
