A lawsuit alleges Meta disproportionately laid off older workers during its 5% workforce reduction last year.Summary
A lawsuit filed by former Meta senior director Nicolas Franchet claims the company targeted older workers during its layoffs last year, which reduced its workforce by 5%. Franchet alleges that employees aged 50 and over were laid off at a significantly higher rate than younger employees, followed by those in the 40-49 age range. The lawsuit suggests a deliberate pattern of targeting older workers, alleging they took the “hardest hit” during the workforce reduction. This claim raises concerns about potential age discrimination within Meta’s layoff process.
