If you're gonna lay people off, a "layer" of management is probably the right call. Never understood why I do actual work and then multiple layers of management report that work up a needlessly abstracted hierarchy of managers until the CIO knows what's going on.

Until the CIO gets the "telephone game" version of what's going on.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
It’s not a surprise that Instagram wants it employees to focus on creators who are able to retain teen audiences on the platform, but the change comes as more than 40 states are suing Meta, alleging that the company’s services are contributing to young users’ mental health problems.
The lawsuit alleges that over the past decade, Meta “profoundly altered the psychological and social realities of a generation of young Americans” and that it is using “powerful and unprecedented technologies to entice, engage, and ultimately ensnare youth and teens.”
Meta’s focus on teen engagement also comes as the company is scheduled to testify before the Senate on child safety on January 31, alongside X (formerly Twitter), TikTok, Snap and Discord.
Committee members are expected to press executives from the companies on their platforms’ inability to protect children online.
Earlier this week, Meta revealed that it was going to start automatically limiting the type of content that teen Instagram and Facebook accounts can see on the social networks.
As part of the changes, teen accounts will be restricted from seeing harmful content, such as posts about self-harm, graphic violence and eating disorders.

Is TPM a manager role? Aren't they more working on projects/product on the non engineering side?
60 isn’t exactly newsworthy…
60 managers is fairly notable since that could be the wfh realization they were useless coming into effect, tho idk how things were wrt to wfh previously.
