From 2022 to today, Meta has laid off around 23,000 employees. Meta is considering another 15,000 layoffs over the next year.
Meta could have paid every one of those 38,000 laid off employees ONE MILLION DOLLARS to do literally nothing, and they would only have spent about half what they've burned on The Metaverse.
