Facebook and Instagram owner Meta to lay off another 10,000 staff
Meta is the latest large firm to wield the axe as it tries to ride out a worldwide economic downturn. The latest job cuts announcement comes just four months after the firm cut its global headcount by more than 11,000 employees.
It comes just four months after Meta - which is investing billions of dollars to build the futuristic metaverse - cut its global headcount by more than 11,000 employees.
A chap is bound to wonder who made this decision. Not an AI system of course - not yet.
As an aside, I've never used Facebook, but it is surprising how old-fashioned it sounds now. Already a kind of digital stately home.

What, with old furniture that a Belgian refugee poo'd behind in 1914?
If the metaverse were any good, it wouldn't have things like redundancies and economic downturns. It hardly seems to be any better than the old-style "universe". More research needed...
dearieme - I haven't come across that one. The digital equivalent could be finding old cookies with bytes out of them.
Sam - good point. If the metaverse isn't the ultimate safe space, what use is it?
That's several 'Linekers' (new SI unit) of virtue signalling down the drain!
It seems like a lot of jobs traditionally taken by left wing liberals, are becoming redundant. It would be a job and a half to integrate them all into the real workforce, without being racict or transphobic or something
Tammly - that's a useful unit. Their Lineker level could be quite low now, maybe as low as 20% which can't be sustainable.
Bucko - seems like it to me too. Middle class non-jobs, the world doesn't need them so government, NGOs and big charities just keep filling up with them.
Compliments to Tammly for the Lineker, the new SI unit of virtue signalling.
The Supreme Secretary of the Society of Superannuated Centre-Forwards (SSSSC) was just too long.
dearieme - yes it's too long. We'd need a reference to gurning over crisps in there.
