‘Laid off by Meta twice’: Woman shares how it impacted her mental health

Meta’s recent wave of layoffs has had a profound impact on countless individuals. In March of 2023, the company made the announcement of its second round of layoffs, resulting in the elimination of 10,000 positions. As the layoffs unfolded, numerous individuals turned to LinkedIn to express their firsthand experiences. One of those individuals is Andrea Guzmán García-Luna, a former Meta employee who, unfortunately, has been let go from the company not just once but twice. The first time she lost her job was back in 2018 and now once again in 2023. Andrea recently shared that this entire ordeal has taken a toll on her mental health.

Andrea Guzmán García-Luna wrote on LinkedIn, “Over the past months I’ve seen people cry on Zoom calls more than I have in my 8-year career, joined chats where people shared their fears about the possible scenarios of the layoffs and Googled ‘Meta Layoffs’ frantically to get some sense of control over the situation.
