In sane parts of the world, layoffs need to be justified. E.g getting rid of a department that wasn’t profitable and there’s literally no other vacancies to fill in the company with the same people, or cutting costs to stay in business.
Meta doesn’t seem to be close to closing down. Their employee count isn’t really reducing much, they’re just virtue signaling AI usage by laying people off. Where I come from, it would be illegal to lay someone off and not hire them back when you’re hiring again for a similar role, because layoffs are ONLY for positions being closed permanently. Otherwise it’s a firing, and you also need justification for firing (and it’s an entirely different kind of justification).
yes but America is not a sane part of the world and its always operated like this. To be surprised this is happening in a country where this is normal is odd. Meta’s employee count grows every year(except 1 year after covid)
I hope someone points that out to you next time you lose your job. Your lack of empathy is gross
So people should be forever employed? What kind of childish world view is this

Is it childish to think that companies that are profitable should not be able to get rid of their employees for no reason?
