That’s all the way fucked. They’re calling them performance-based layoffs. Whether it’s true or not, that’s a class-action slander suit waiting to happen.

There’s a reason corporations typically only provide start and end dates and don’t allow a manager to provide references. If a manager wrote a great reference about one former employee and not another, and they both happened to apply to the same company, the implication is enough for a potential slander suit. The only way I could skirt HR was to provide a personal reference that did not mention work, but exemplified their skills anecdotally.

I hope this costs Meta a lot of money.
