“Meta intends ​to conduct a first wave of sweeping layoffs planned for this year on May 20, with more ‌coming later, three sources familiar with the plans told Reuters. The #Facebook and #Instagram owner will #LayOff about 10% of its global #workforce, or close to 8,000 employees, in that initial round, one of the sources said.

The company is planning further layoffs in the second half of the ​year, the three sources said, although details of those #cuts, including date and size, were not yet settled. ​#Executives may adjust their plans as they observe developments in #ArtificialIntelligence capabilities, the sources added”

Yesterday, yes, on April Fool's Day, my day job informed me and 89 other people that our last day will be Friday, the 3rd. None of us are happy about it, and it means I am once again without steady income. I am not okay with things. I'm going to be selling off everything in the near future to try to save what little I have left. The desire and search for stability continues.

The urge to drink is pretty high right now, but I'm not giving in. I'm at my two-month mark.

If you see my sanity somewhere laying around, if you could grab it for me, that would be great.

They say they are going to try to move me to another project, but I'm not exactly holding my breath. We'll see. If you know of anyone hiring, please let me know; remote tech work is my specialty, but I'll do just about anything right now.

Thanks for listening.

Ugh. It's been a day already and it's only 9:30am.

With a layoff at my now former company, lots of us have been impacted, including me. The good news is my calendar is now free and clear.

I have no idea what comes next but if you know of any #InternalCommunications roles in #Massachusetts, I'd really appreciate the heads up 😃
