On: Meta announces 5% cuts in preparation for 'intense year'

Backfill (with cheaper eng) the roles.

Meta is already filled with H1Bs. They are probably the model utilizer of H1B visas. They pay them all really well and the employee base is truly global, not just all from one country.

uhhhhhh.. Ok, they’re from two countries, but mostly one.

[aprilthird2021 → dinobones]

No they're not. You clearly don't work at Meta or haven't. My team is all H1Bs, not a single one from the two countries you're referring to.

Also those two countries make up half the world population so if you're truly hiring global talent they should make up half that group

That assumes talent is distributed evenly amongst populations, and isn’t affected by things like culture or nutrition

It's not distributed wildly unevenly
