I know HN hates Facebook (I don&#x27;t like them either), but isn&#x27;t a simpler explanation that:<p>A lot of people are working from home, so there&#x27;s less use of office facilities so there&#x27;s less janitorial work needed, and whoever Facebook contracts this cleaning work to, decided to cut some staff.<p>I just don&#x27;t see Facebook&#x27;s savings as significant enough for Zuck to think about this.

Conveniently leaves out how they were all paid full wage during the pandemic despite the office being shut down. The real story here is that the world is becoming too unaffordable for most people, and it’s going to hurt everyone big time.

It&#x27;s unclear if the jobs were cut by Meta, or the contracting company had their contract value reduced because most offices in Bay Area are working at a reduced capacity. It&#x27;s likely that the contracting company fired these people.

It&#x27;s a little difficult with this article, to clearly understand the chain of responsibility. Does meta employ the vendor that employs the service staff? If so, who really decided to make staff cuts? And how does the union intersect with this?<p>Unrelated, there are approximately 200 service people cut, making approximately $20&#x2F;hr. That&#x27;s roughly $8M a year. Certainly that&#x27;s a lot of money, but I wonder why meta would choose to cut this cost and not some other. For example, why not lay off 20 engineers? Or is this related to fewer people being in the offices now, so there&#x27;s literally less work?<p>It seems like a compassionate capitalism approach, wherein there&#x27;s a bit more preference for preserving the jobs for the lower economic class would be worth considering here.

Leave California.<p>Pretty much ANYWHERE ELSE has a lower cost of living and if it&#x27;s a Red State, far more jobs.<p>I left despite being born and raised in California. Never coming back.
