Sad, because before COVID, no one at Meta cared where you worked as long as you were getting your shit done. There was never available meeting rooms, and the open floor plans were so loud, that people would spread out all over the campus and use single person VC rooms to communicate in.

Basically, everyone trusted everyone.

This is 100% just a soft layoff.

I notice US tech companies have also become really tough on white collar workers in order to suck up to Trump and his country goons.

No more diversity programs, work life balance no longer promoted, that kinda stuff. This fits in with that trend.

Diversity programs do not universally benefit white collar workers.

		Not directly but they do create an open and fair working environment for all. Once you leave room for discrimination and bullying, everyone suffers because it makes company culture harder. And it's not just about "quotas". That's an extreme-right talking point. Diversity done properly doesn't involve quotas. Those are just a way for companies that don't actually care about it to have an easy 'fix' to get their numbers to look ok but it's not actual diversity. I'm part of a diversity team myself as a side role. In Europe luckily.
