I believe this should send a message to the remaining employees to improve morale or get out.

> send a message [..] to improve morale or get out

The saying "the beatings will continue until morale improves" is supposed to be a joke, not a guide for management.

“Meta did not immediately to Engadget’s comment request.” I don’t really see much value to the numerous hurried regurgitations of the original story (from the Financial Times), though I guess this link is a form of that. The beatings will continue until morale improves.

blank did not immediately respond to blank 's request for comments is so common as to mean nothing.

How do we know if the article was not written by an AI?

Last time they did a big layoff the stock went up.. so I guess keep firing people as long as the stock keeps going up is the plan for say people who own lots of the stock.. I wonder who might benefit?

Some much for doing the big cut and getting it over with. Worst of all possible worlds.

The employees must have seen the writing on the wall when the company was hiring en masse. Hiring standards must have fallen if they added people so rapidly.

Engineers vocally advocated for hiring more people because they have “too much work”. Engineers are on the interview panels and so are also responsible for hiring standards to drop (if, in fact, that is true).
