I got laid off from a fairly well known company and it helped me to get another job, so he’s not entirely wrong. And I didn’t even get severance.
But were you laid off at the same time your company announced “low-performer layoffs?” That’s the real problem here. That claim could be grounds for a class-action slander/libel suit.
In my case it was the company that was poorly performing.
And I agree that they should talk to a lawyer about that. There are pretty strict rules about what you can say about someone who was fired and I’m pretty sure that breaks them.

Not in the Trump administration, anything goes now! As long as you’re a business with money
In my experience as a former corporate shill, I’d face corrective action for providing any work reference, good or bad. Providing either could be legally actionable against the company. The only way I was able to skirt HR was to write a personal reference that highlighted my team member’s skills and competencies anecdotally.
“very less”… The Engineering Leader, Mentor
I try to approach these things with positive intent and it could be that the lunatic is ESL (English as a second language).
Plenty of insane stuff in that post to call them out for without having to picking on their grammar.
“Very less” is very common in indian english
I would be ashamed to have Meta on my resume, but that’s just me.
If I hired people I would literally screen them out
Just a reminder, don’t work for more than 40 hours a week, just to buy more useless shit you don’t need.
Another study published in 2015 in The Lancet, involving more than 600,000 employees, found that those who worked more than 55 hours per week had a 13% greater risk of heart attackand were 33% more likely to experience a stroke than those who worked 35 to 40 hours on a weekly basis.
Interesting. Our small company just gave us all pay rises and a reduction in hours at the same time.
Now work 33 hours per week and I’m glad it will have physical improvements to my health as well as the mental aspect of it.
For example? Just to be sure to never apply there as well.
Least lunatic thing I’ve seen hear in here. “sure they are a terrible company and they fired me, but they paid well and now I have them on my resume”.
Is the meta employee saying it’s only cruel now that theyve been laid off? I mean i know meta is bad, but i feel like an employee that only says this bc they were fired is on brand for someone that works for meta.
