Meta employees in India are worried but waiting for confirmation
Speaking to the media, several Meta employees in India said that discussions about the layoffs have been around since early April, but no official notification has been issued as of April 18 (11:00 p.m. IST). However, in an internal memo obtained by The Washington Post, Meta's head of human resources, Lori Golar, wrote Tuesday evening that the company will begin notifying its technical teams of employees it has decided to lay off.
In November last year, the company fired 11,000 people.
A company employee in India said, “Meta is known to give layoff notices early in the morning. So, it could be that we get the layoff notification as early as the following morning, or it could be around noon in India if they follow PST. Meta had laid off 11,000 people in November last year, cutting its workforce by 13 percent.
