Zuck must be happy that Elon Musk has been taking all the heat off Meta for the past 6 months or so.

Not just superficially though - as advertisers bail from twitter, they have TikTok, fb/insta, Google as their alternative major options.

The difference in scale between Twitter and FB+IG is so massive, no one on the Meta side cares. No advertisers were ever placing ads on Twitter and not on FB+IG.

Aside from the one-off person here and there, isn't it odd that these companies that layoff so many people... especially in those fields... we don't see more of them bitching about being let go online?

It's kind of like the numbers are like Hindenberg. All show.

Wut these people HAVE been bitching online in their communities, they’ve also been job hunting like crazy, LinkedIn is full of people looking for referrals.

There’s also the fact that tech workers who got laid off from meta are usually pretty skilled and a lot of smaller companies snap them up (at lower comp), so they’re not starved for choice like layoffs in other industries… the demand for software engineers is still pretty high
