Golar’s note also mentioned that Meta employees in North America will be notified by email between 4 am to 5 am PT. The report also revealed that apart from North America, the timelines of the job cuts will vary for different countries. The Meta official also mentioned that employees of some countries will not be impacted at all.
Meta has also asked some of its North American staff to work from home (if their job profile allows) that day. The company mentions that this will offer laid-off employees “space to process the news.” The report has kept its sources anonymous due to concerns about their professional repercussions.
