“I relocated to Canada to join #Meta and 2 days after joining, my journey came to an end as I am impacted by the massive layoff.
What’s next for me? Honestly, I have no idea! I’m looking forward to whatever comes next”, said his post.
He expressed solidarity with everyone impacted by the layoffs.
He concluded his post by asking for leads on any job opportunities in Canada or India.
Zuck’s plans
The 11,000 employees sacked made up 13% of the company’s workforce.
Chief executive Mark Zuckerberg announced a range of cost-cutting measures in an effort “to become a leaner and more efficient company”
He also extended the hiring freeze that Meta had earlier imposed.
Addressing those on a visa
Addressing employees on a work visa in foreign countries, he says,
“I know this is especially difficult if you’re here on a visa.
There’s a notice period before termination and some visa grace periods, which means everyone will have time to make plans and work through their immigration status.
We have dedicated immigration specialists to help guide you based on what you and your family need.”
