Meta (formerly Facebook) has begun laying off nearly 10,000 employees in a second round of job cuts, and many employees have started looking for new jobs on LinkedIn, including one woman who was laid off while on maternity leave. was fired.
Andy Allen, a senior technical recruiter at Meta in the US who was laid off during the second round of layoffs, said the most shocking aspect was the layoffs during maternity leave.
“I was part of today’s #metallayoffs while on maternity leave. I understand changes in market trends and focus on the bottom line of the business. I don’t understand how the #metal leadership got it so badly wrong.” Calculated that they had to lay off thousands of employees, and yet want to claim they care about the people who work for them,” Allen wrote in his LinkedIn post.
“Has Mark Zuckerberg taken a pay cut?” He asked.
She concluded her post by saying: “My recruiting team was top notch, and I love the teams we support, but #Meta’s handling of this situation is appalling”.
It was ironic that only four months earlier, Allen had expressed his relief that his role was not affected by the Meta layoffs.
She also mentioned that she loved working at the company and that she was about three weeks away from giving birth to her baby.
Thank you to everyone who checked in on me regarding #Metalayoffs. I found out this morning that my role was not impacted. I am so relieved to still have my job as I am about 3 weeks away from having my baby , but also because I really love working on #Meta,” she wrote.
The tech giant laid off around 11,000 employees in the first round of job cuts last year.
