Meta Laid Off Indian Techies Within 2-3 Days Of Their Joining

The Indian employees of Meta, the firm that owns Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, have been thrown off guard after the US firm announced 11,000 layoffs globally or 13 per cent of its workforce.

Some of the Indian techies, who switched to social media major Meta after quitting their stable jobs just two-three days ago, are among the 11,000 people laid off by the company.

Facebook has laid off 11,000 employees across the globe to cut down cost.

An IT professional Neelima Agarwal, who joined Meta two days back posted on the social media platform Linkedin, that she is among the people who have lost their jobs.

"Relocated to Canada from India just a week back and joined meta 2 days ago after going through such a long visa process. But the unfortunate sad day has come and I got laid off," she said.
