As Facebook users are taking to Twitter to discuss the outage. Many users are suspecting a connection between Meta's mass layoffs and the problems on Facebook. The company has fired over 11,000 of its employees which amounts to 13 per cent of its entire workforce. 

Mark Zuckerberg released a detailed statement about the announcement. He explained what went wrong and when. He also took full responsibility for the mass layoff claiming that it was his expectation of growth that led to an inflated workforce. Zuckerberg also shared the payment details that will be made to those who were removed from office. Meta will be offer a basic pay of 16 weeks to those leaving the company. They will also be offered insurance benefits for the next six months. 

So far, Meta hasn't issued a statement about the issues being faced by multiple users.
