Meta Layoffs this week 😬

Meta's going to do layoffs this week. Not surprising, but I wonder how much of this is "peer pressure" from other companies cutting back so much. That said, theyve doubled their full time employee count from 2019, so definitely a lot of bloat.

I've spent over a decade in ecommerce and software and I've been shocked at how oddly hard it is to get a job at Meta, and yet the complete mediocrity and unprofessionalism of their ad and marketing account reps is something I continue to come across. Same with Google. FAANG seems to overpay engineers, and then have unbelievably poor hiring practices with marketing and account management roles.
