Layoffs are nothing to be surprised or enraged about. That's how free market works. Companies were there just for the money. All the time.<p>Maybe they could reduce someones seniority level and wage? But that seems just strange and probably nobody would agree on that.
Just wild speculation but if Facebook is falling it’s probably because the directions they have taken (decided by the board)? I haven't really seen any indication that it would be the programmers fault. It’s not like customers would go back to Facebook if they had zero outages for a year or better quality photos… it’s way beyond that.
