Former Meta recruiter claims they were making $190k a year without recruiting anyone Unsplash: Mariia ShalabaievaA former Meta recruiter took to TikTok to report that she was supposedly being paid 190k a year despite the company not looking to recruit anyone during her time there. Tech giant Meta has dominated the social media space in the past, with social media applications such as Facebook and Instagram being incredibly popular. However, Meta has run into some problems recently with their budget, as CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently announced 10,000 layoffs were going to take place across the company. It appears that a TikTok user wanted to provide some insight into what was going on at Meta, and wanted to express how she was being paid an absolutely insane amount of money, despite not doing anything. TikTok user maddie_macho spoke further about her time at the tech giant on her TikTok, stating that she was \u201cgetting paid 190k to do nothing at Meta\u201d. She further revealed that Meta didn\u2019t have plans to hire anyone for the next 6-12 months at the time she was hired. \u201cWhat did we do all day? That is a great question. When I was working at Meta and I was a recruiter, and we weren\u2019t expected to hire anybody for the first six months, even the first year. This is something they tell you when you start.\u201d Maddie was clearly a tad confused at this prospect, as she wondered why she wasn\u2019t doing what the role required for the first 12 months. As such, she was more than happy to just chill at the company and be paid ridiculously high amounts of money, despite not needing to do hire anyone. \u201cThat really blew my mind. I was like perfect, I\u2019m just going to ride this out for a year. Obviously, I didn\u2019t make that but, you know. She explained that instead of having her hire new staff members, Meta spent a good amount of time on her onboarding and training. \u201cSo what do you do all day? You\u2019re learning. They have a really amazing onboarding and training\u2026 The expectation is that when you start is really that you\u2019re just learning and taking it all in.\u201d She then finally expressed what she believed to be the craziest part about her time at Meta, which was the sheer amount of team meetings when no one else was hiring either. \u201cThe crazy part is that we had so many team meetings. Why are we meeting? We aren\u2019t hiring nobody\u2026 Also, I was on a team where everybody was new so none of us were hiring anybody. We were all just trying to figure out things. None of us knew the answers so we\u2019d ask our boss and she\u2019d be like \u2018I don\u2019t know\u2019 cause she was new too.\u201d Meta has recently joined the trend of tech companies mass laying off staff, with an announcement of 10,000 employees being laid off just a week ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
