Sushmita Sahoo, who worked on a talent accelerator recruiting team in Singapore, wrote in her LinkedIn post: “While I’m still processing what happened and I’m at a loss for the right words, I’m looking forward to an opportunity Grateful to work with some amazing people out there.”

“I am also a part of the unfortunate Meta layoffs and I will always be grateful to anyone who has any job recommendations for me. I am not replying!” He added.

Sahoo holds a Master of Business Administration (MBA) in HR and Marketing from Biju Patnaik Institute of Information Technology and Management, (BIITM), Bhubaneswar.

He was fired about six months after joining the company.

In a follow-up post, she expressed her desire to spend more time with the company.

“It’s 4 pm in Singapore and with all the acceptance (still some mental denial), we are all finally signing the separation agreement. Reminds me how lucky I am to have something that says goodbye Makes it so hard to say. I still wish.” My time in Meta was long,” Sahoo said.

Meanwhile, Meta is all set to shed another 13 per cent, or around 11,000 jobs, in its second round of job cuts, which will hit non-engineering roles hard.

According to a report in The Wall Street Journal, citing sources, Meta Platforms plans to “announce additional layoffs in a series of rounds over the coming months.”
