Meta layoffs: I asked to be laid off during company-wide 8,000 job cuts, says ex-employee

A former Meta employee voluntarily sought to be part of recent layoffs. Her personal career goals no longer matched the company's direction. She had worked at Meta for six years. The company is undergoing restructuring and focusing on artificial intelligence. She learned AI tools but believes worker protections need collective action. She plans a break before seeking new opportunities.
