Mark Zuckerberg employs people for 'pointless tasks', according to former employee

Apparently, some bigtechs like Google and Meta, are hiring people without having a real need for the increase in manpower.

As Keith Rabois recently said, who is currently CEO of OpenStore and has also worked at PayPal, these “meaningless” hiring is aimed at achieving internal goals and improving the public image of the companies. bigtechs.

On the other hand, technology giants adopt this practice just to prevent certain professionals from ending up working for the competition. However, the wave of unnecessary hiring generated another wave: mass layoffs.

Ex-Meta reveals that people were hired to do nothing

Affected by the wave of mass layoffs, the former employee of Meta, Brit Levy, refused to sign the contract termination. Mark Zuckerberg's company currently controls Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram.

Through her TikTok account, Brit Levy vented and ended up confirming Keith Rabois' speech.

“Everyone I worked with had something to work with, but I didn't. So I'm one of those contract employees in an awkward position where they immediately put me in a group of individuals who weren't working,” she said.

In the continuation of her speech, Brit stated that at times she had to look for demands to fulfill. Additionally, she compared employees hired to “do nothing” with collectible Pokémon.

“We basically had to scramble to find what to do. It was a strange environment and it felt like Meta was hiring staff just so other companies wouldn't, and they collected us like we were Pokémon cards.”, she stated.

In her video, which aired on the 11th, the former Meta employee also reported that she exchanged messages with other company employees who also claimed to have nothing to do.

Meta, which recently laid off more than 10,000 employees at once, has yet to comment on Brit Levy's revelations and Keith Rabois' speech.
