A former Meta employee has described the atmosphere inside the company ahead of its first major layoffs as “almost like doomsday”, recalling how workers filled their bags with free snacks, drinks and chargers on the eve of the job cuts.
Adel Wu, who said she witnessed several rounds of layoffs during her final year at Meta, shared a post on X detailing the anxiety among employees before one particularly significant round of cuts. Her comments come shortly before Meta is expected to eliminate 8,000 jobs on May 20.
