Comment on Mark Zuckerberg: Tech layoffs in 2024 have been a natural response to pandemic-era over hiring

The idea behind the higher pay of CEOs and the appreciation of shares is that the shareholders and CEOs bear exactly this risk. I wouldn’t prohibit layoffs for the reasons you mentioned. I would mandate very generous severance packages and prohibitions on raising workload on other employees.

Zuckerberg has done that - 16 weeks severance for every year you’ve worked there. If you’re a ten year employee, your severance package is three years pay.
I’m pretty sure facebook is one of those companies where employees basically just work all day long. There’s no scope to increase the workload.
