So what does it mean, concretely? What repercussions will he personally suffer?

People will snark him 30% harder for a week.

I dunno what you expect, everyone wants to avoid the negative consequences of their actions, should we be surprised that the rich and powerful can actually do it?

  • No one is surprised, but why shouldn't it be called out and ridiculed as fake accountability and moral theater.

If you hire a house cleaner, and the house cleaner doesn't do a good job, would you fire yourself from the house? What repercussions will you personally suffer?

  • If I had a roommate who spent huge swaths of our monthly budget on house cleaning we didn't need, I might tell them to go find another place to live.

    Or to stop stretching metaphors.. The investors should be mad that the layoffs were even necessary.

  • Are you implying the 10% being fired are all bad workers? What if the house cleaner was not the problem here?

    • It is irrelevant if the workers did a good job. They are at the service and discretion of the house. The house, i.e. the owner, always remains. Until everything burns down. In case of Meta, pipe-dream, one can only hope.
