Facebook is the latest large tech company to begin mass layoffs, choosing 60 contractors reportedly at random using an algorithm.
The unlucky contractors were employed by Meta via its Austin office of Accenture — despite the company having a nearly half-billion-dollar deal with Meta to provide workers in content moderation and business integrity.
According to Business Insider, workers were informed via a video conference call that they would have no work as of Sept. 2, with pay ending on Oct. 3. No specific reasons were given besides being chosen “at random.”
They weren’t immediately offered alternative jobs by Accenture, but were told they could reapply for any newly available job over the next two weeks.

No surprise that we have just experienced one of the most significant declines in labor productivity recorded in recent decades.
In the US, employees are working more to produce less.
Although this dataset is often subject to big revisions, it seems like we just experienced one of the largest declines in labor productivity recorded in recent decades. pic.twitter.com/dl7zeui7SW
