"Angry?" Sheesh...
Meta employees got gold-plated severance packages. The complainers have other issues than the layoff.
> For those who lost their job in the United States, Meta said it would pay severance of 16 weeks of their base pay, along with two additional weeks for every year they worked at the company. Laid-off workers and their families will have health care paid for six months. [0]

- db1234 4y agoYes, angry. For people on visa, it doesn't matter if severance is gold or silver plated. They will only have 60 days to find another job or leave the country. Giving an advance notice will help them mentally prepare and start looking for a job assuming the worst case so they get some buffer days. I agree though Meta's severance package was quite good.
- caminante 4y agoSort by salary. [0] Only ~8/2k+ visa employees have a salary < 100k. My stance is that the subset of visa holders impacted by layoffs is STILL a very fortunate crowd stings no matter what.
