Meta & Amazon Layoffs: LinkedIn Is the New Therapy

Meta and Amazon just announced another round of layoffs, and the DMV tech scene is feeling the tremors. With Amazon HQ2 in Arlington and Meta’s data centers dotting the region, thousands of local workers are suddenly updating their LinkedIn bios to include phrases like “seeking new opportunities” and “open to work.”

According to the https://www.wsj.com/Wall Street Journal, the layoffs are part of “strategic restructuring,” which is corporate speak for “we spent too much on kombucha taps.” Local coffee shops are bracing for an influx of laptop warriors, and coworking spaces are offering “post-layoff happy hours.”

Meanwhile, recruiters are working overtime, and tech meetups in D.C. are now 80% networking, 20% therapy.

“Meta laid off so many people, even their AI chatbot is asking for unemployment.”

SEO Tip: Keywords like ‘Meta layoffs 2025’, ‘Amazon job cuts’, and ‘DMV tech jobs’ are high CPC magnets.
