Meta CTO reports employee morale is near historic lows, prompting leadership to propose boosting workplace snack budgets
Story Overview
Meta's CTO described current employee morale as among the lowest in two decades during an internal session, tying the dip to recent layoffs and bumpy AI reorganization efforts, after which leadership floated bigger budgets for office snacks and related perks to lift the mood.

Open Question
Layoffs fuel the unrest
The comments surfaced right after Meta cut roughly 8,000 roles, with internal notes also calling the AI team reshuffle handling atrocious and leaving many staff unsettled about stability.
FYI
Perks get a modest bump
Follow-up moves include higher allowances for travel, events, and microkitchen snacks, though exact figures and direct ties to the morale talk remain unspecified in available reports.
Sentiment
Many users mocked Meta's snack budget boosts as a superficial and insulting attempt to fix record-low morale, sarcastically comparing them to empty gestures or inadequate perks despite high salaries.
