I wish I could get my friends to stop using WhatsApp
I communicate with direct family and many friends through Signal. Don't tell them to replace WhatsApp by Signal. Ask them to install Signal besides WhatsApp.
Both can exist at the same time and this is a route with much less friction and slowly builds the network effect.
> now not only are people made redundant, but in a small market like here in Ireland they're outed as a poor performers.
I don't know - I've said before, but the bigger red flag to me would be either that they worked for Meta at all, or that they didn't leave of their own accord. Any big tech company pretending someone was let go, as part of a mass lay-off, for performance reasons is generally going to rate as about as truthful as saying it's "because of AI", if I'm looking at hiring.
Not to erase that Meta is an absolutely shitty company run by a literal ghoul enabled by tens of thousands of "people" who are happy to make giving teenage girls depression in return for ad clicks their entire life's work.

Meta (trillion dollar company) also targets 15 year old OSS maintainers with legal threats.
