THE BIG GIST
Laid-Off Meta Employees Are Speaking Up
And I think I love it lol.
Imagine getting laid off, only to hear your ex-boss call you a “low performer.”
That’s exactly what happened at Meta. And former employees are not taking it lightly.
Instead of the usual “Hey guys, I’m open to work” posts, people are coming with receipts.
One content manager clapped back with, “I am not a low performer.”
A data scientist even dropped screenshots of glowing performance reviews proving he “greatly exceeded expectations.”
Basically, it’s no longer just “I need a job”. It’s now “Put some respect on my name.”
