Thread regarding Facebook layoffs

Poster above is full of c-ap. No one is leaving because all the other companies in the valley s---.

Facebook laid off around 6% of the workforce and no one knows... omg FB management is awesome.

How they did it.. for a WARN notice the threshold is 500 people

So they laid off 400ish for the past 4 months

#facebookistoliet

It seems more people are quiting so not gong to be layoffs...lol

The best are leaving the losers are staying

Most people on H1B at FB are contractors as FB dosent want them on their payroll so they can show to US govt that they hire mostly US citizens, its sneaky , well we should not be suprised.

I will agree around 40% of facebook employees are contractors , so the layoffs are not reported as they are technically not FB employees.

I have heard in the finance team 7 FT people have been asked to leave , so technically 7 layoffs , thier last date is Jan 15. FB dosent usually ambush layoffs , they ask you to leave so you have 30 days before you fired

Save on that severance package ..

But Facebook is a big big supporter of increased H-1B.. Soon to go don the tubes company may not have that much clout anymore...

Instagram team contractors no rehire,

We been told that all contractors who's assignment ends dec to feb will not be hired back or given FT positions.

So around 90-100 layoffs in the next 2 months.

Contractors are ard 40% of our workforce

8 contractors in business ops let go on Monday . This is in MPk

Part of larger contractor purge

No FT conversions in ops and finance

Facebook falls from no 1 company to work for to 7 ... lol.. why I am not surprised.

Guess HR can't hide all the nasty stuff that goes on under NDA anymore with people speaking out

Very interesting comment on conservative employees, keep us posted on that

conservative employees for what I knew are working on internally, silently ,and secretly damage to some dept everyday due to executive levels ' extreme left political bias.

so better to expect worse coming

Lol

Looks like Facebook shady attempts to stop people from posting real stuff .. lol

Hack people IP from an site... that is illegal and you can be in a lot of trouble...

post away .. that last post proves how shady FB is

To the good person who is posting detailed HC cuts. As a former HR of facebook , I would advise you to use a VPN as I know of instances when HR at Facebook has used the IT to track the IP posts and identify current employees and fire them for breach of NDA

It is a messed up culture they were able to hide until now that all the sh-- they do is comming out .

Hire a or agency to go after people who talk bad about them... wow !!!

Cuts to ocolus team comming soon .. will post as the numbers get clearer..

Preliminary

Sales and marketing 50 HC

Product 10

Eng - transfer to instagram and Whatsup

Product - 5

Looks like we can forecast one for sure today after shyrel was not on the call about NY times report..

New COO position soon to be available

No cuts

Cost structure is too high @ fb. Time to melt the fat and go on trim-trip.

5 layoffs confirmed in mpk .. networks infrastructure team

Wow !!! Saw part 2 of pbs documentary !!!

People who work at Facebook must be something... they killed people and just vote themself the best company to work for !!!

Wow .. I'm speechless.

Very good artist cle by CNBC on tech exploiting its work force

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/10/22/silicon-valley-using-contract-employees-to-drive-profits.html

Dec 14 is the layoff date planned for this year.

You may see a lot less people in MPK this new years.

Extra Extra >> Facebook hires Infosys

So I was told today to not renew my contractors as FB is outsourcing work to Infosys...

Guess the line at Nan Stop in Epic is going to be longer

looks like the rumors are correct... We all know what happens when outsourcing people from India come.

You will teach them your work and you will be laid off .. so time to start looking as next yearend will be a bloodbath for US employees

For full time it's going to be a PIP , performance improvement plan, unlike other places FB has a 6 month performance cycle so we are told to start documenting "poor performer" .. ya

Basically pip gives FB excuse not to give severance . Ya best company to work for !!! And they make you sign a NDA when they fire you so you can't talk sh-- about them . Else they will not agree to help you in your background check min, or have they attorneys send you a nasty letter.

Update on Layoffs

Budgets are being discussed and set for next year

We been told to start cutting out contractors , so no FT layoffs this year. Whew !!!

Those poor temp/contractors will be lay off by december, so if you one of those temp people thinking you going to get the FT offer if you hang in a little more.. bad news. , they lying to you

Salary raise except for the engineers will be ard 2-3%

Stock bonus..lol... well we all can read charts !!!!

So much talk about people deleting their FB accounts now that FB wants user bank information, not looking good

For the life of me I can not figure out what so many people do at a company like Facebook. Facebook's website has to be some of the lamest programming around, and I can only imagine that 90% of the employees are involved with data mining and selling user information.

FB deserves it for all the lies and censorship on the platform

And it can only happen to such a nice group of people. A few hundred of you may care but 6 billion people don’t. So thumbs up for FB layoffs.
