Interesting insights from friends who work at Meta. Meta layed off quite a few people who were on day 2 or 3 of their jobs, literally. Their first day was on monday and they were laid off on wednesday. Instead of rescinding the offers entirely, Meta chose to hire them and then lay them off to guarantee them the 16 week severence instead of rescinding the offer at last minute and leaving them high & dry. While it still sucks, it still was a pretty gracious move to guarantee 16 weeks of salary. Honestly, Zuck sucks but the way they went about their layoffs has been way more gracious and empathetic than others out there.

Nothing I say here should be taken seriously. Or actually anywhere at all. Opinions are strictly mine, and I actually have to say it.
