its workforce to 76,000 from just over 87,000. And while other tech companies like Twitter and Apple are demanding workers return to offices, Facebook still supports remote work. The company has plans to shrink its office footprint, so much so that it's moving toIf all of Facebook's 76,000 employees used the full $200 benefit each month, that would amount to more than $182 million a year in bookings for Lyft.
Facebook employees have already lost certain other perks, such as on-site laundry at headquarters. The time of a daily free dinner provided to workers has also been moved to after atakes workers home for the day, saving Facebook money on food costs by preventing those employees taking food home for dinner, previously a common practice.
Such perks may seem outlandish to a typical employee, but Big Tech has for years been trying to lure and keep engineers and other skilled workers in a competitive job market. As layoffs sweep through the industry, companies like Facebook are less eager to pamper staff. Are you a Facebook employee or have insight to share?
