Meta to Follow Microsoft’s Layoffs (Blind TL;DR: July 10, 2026)
Stay on top of the biggest tech stories in under 3 minutes. Blind TL;DR brings you fast, insider-driven insights from the people shaping the industry — technologists like you.
Microsoft made waves earlier this week when the company laid off 4,800 employees, mostly to restructure Xbox.
While employees search for new positions, Meta employees are preparing for layoffs of their own.
Rumored July 22 Meta Layoffs
According to WARN notices and user speculation on Blind, there will be more layoffs to hit Meta later this month.
There is confusion on whether or not these layoffs happened in May, and the WARN notice was filed after.
Regardless, tech workers aren’t getting any breaks this year as layoffs continue to hit different tech companies each month.
The Age of In-Person Interviews is Over
Online interviews have been integrated into hiring processes over the last decade. It saves time for many, but increases chances for those in computer or math-based careers to cheat.
Many users take to Blind to share how they cheated and secured a job offer, making those who went the moral route and didn't receive offers both second-guess their approach and feel anger to the "cheaters."
Should there be more restrictions on interviews to prevent cheating via AI or online coding tools?
