CEO Meta berbicara kepada karyawan secara virtual pada hari Rabu sekitar pukul 1 siang ET, beberapa jam setelah perusahaan mengumumkan akan memberhentikan 13% stafnya.
Seorang karyawan Meta yang terkena dampak PHK hari ini memberikan video ini ke NBC News.
Dalam sepucuk surat Rabu pagi, Zuckerberg mengatakan Meta membuat pengurangan di setiap organisasi tetapi perekrutan akan terpengaruh secara tidak proporsional karena perusahaan berencana untuk mempekerjakan lebih sedikit orang pada tahun 2023. Perusahaan memperpanjang pembekuan perekrutan hingga kuartal pertama dengan beberapa pengecualian, Zuckerberg dikatakan.
Karyawan yang terkena dampak akan menerima 16 minggu gaji ditambah dua minggu tambahan untuk setiap tahun layanan, kata Zuckerberg. Meta akan menanggung asuransi kesehatan selama enam bulan.
Berikut transkrip dari apa yang dia katakan di segmen video:
I know there must be just a range of different emotions. I want to say up front that I take full responsibility for this decision. I’m the founder and CEO, I’m responsible for the health of our company, for our direction, and for deciding how we execute that, including things like this, and this was ultimately my call. And it was one of the hardest calls that I’ve had to make in the 18 years of running the company. And a lot of why it’s hard is, obviously, it has a big impact on your lives, but also for our mission. We’re losing people who… you’ve really put your heart and soul into this place. Each of you is talented and passionate, and each of you has played a role in making Meta the success that it is. No matter what team you may have worked on, each of you played a role in contributing to the products that billions of people use to connect every day.
