Meta revives happy hours, t-shirts following layoffs, Bloomberg reports

Meta is reviving employee perks like happy hours and branded t-shirts to boost morale following layoffs of over 20,000 people over the past year, Bloomberg’s Aisha Counts reports. One employee said they view this as a positive sign about the company’s performance, after two straight quarters beating Wall Street’s expectations on profits and revenue. Meanwhile, other employees say Meta has begun rehiring some workers who were previously laid off. A Meta spokesperson confirmed the company is bringing back amenities as employees return to the office, and commented that “Dinner, happy hour and company swag never really went away, merely adjusted given the pandemic and budgets.”
