Being on a slack channel for victims of another big tech company's layoffs, I can say for certain that Meta is not the only one laying off a suspiciously large number of people during maternity leave.
The tech sector has been heavily inoculated against any kind of labor solidarity for my entire life. At some point, you can't just be a victim. You've got to fight back. And I don't know if the people getting sucked into and shat out of Silicon Valley year to year have the gumption to do it. Seems like they'll line right back up at Facebook the moment Zuck wants to hire them again, under even worse terms, salaries, and working conditions than when they were kicked out.
because they are paying such a high income, and still is, they arnt going to revolt.
