Meta's head of human resources Lori Goler said employees who lose their jobs will be provided with at least four months' salary as severance, the WSJ reported, citing people familiar with the matter. "We anticipate that we're going to see a downsizing." However, on Sunday Bloomberg reported Twitter was reaching out to dozens of employees who lost their jobs, asking them to return.
Mr Varadkar said that while the tech sector was important, it amounted to just 6% of Ireland's employment and 16% of Ireland's economy. He said other sectors were important too such as pharmaceuticals, medical devices and financial services.
