Anonymous study on redundancy in Meta: “Anyone who talks to the media risks losing huge severance pay”

“Before there was an email to the staff,” recalls Bram Vandeputte via his anonymous source. “Half an hour later, there was also a message from Zuckerberg to the rest of the world, in which he explained the dismissal.”

Bram Vandeputte was able to read the resignation emails. There were two emails in circulation. “The first started with “a message from Meta for x (the name of the employee who was fired)”. The other was an email with good news: “Your role will not be affected by the layoffs for the time being.”

Zuckerberg states in his statement that he wants to refocus on the core issues. “It’s about artificial intelligence, which many tech companies believe in. Furthermore, he remains adamant that the virtual world, the Metaverse, will be the future of the company, “says Bram Vandeputte. The Metaverse is also pushed among the employees. According to the anonymous source, some business meetings must take place in that virtual world. “This also says something about the company’s course,” says Vandeputte.
