I know HN hates Facebook (I don't like them either), but isn't a simpler explanation that:
A lot of people are working from home, so there's less use of office facilities so there's less janitorial work needed, and whoever Facebook contracts this cleaning work to, decided to cut some staff.
I just don't see Facebook's savings as significant enough for Zuck to think about this.

- geoduck14 4y agoI feel like I should tack on to this. I have a buddy that works for one of the companies that Facebook subcontracts with - that is, he goes into a Facebook building everyday and serves Facebook employees. During the pandemic, Facebook kept paying him and everyone on his department even though there wasn't an office to go into and do work. Everyone just stayed home. He indicated that Facebook was being more than fair. I feel like eventually Facebook needs to adjust to the "new normal" and these employees need to find different jobs.
- Deltionsjsj 4y agoThe hate comes what sucker rep does to society. The angel that fb is bad to people who work for them is something I didn't came across. And it doesn't make sense anyway. You don't want unhappy service stuff as it is a security risk to underpay them while having a ton of access.
