Woman who admitted she did no work despite being paid $190,000 by Meta now reveals she was fired

A former Meta employee who admitted she did little work for her $190,000 job has revealed she was fired for posting on TikTok.

Maddie Macho made headlines earlier this month after posting a TikTok admitting she did nothing while working at Meta, which began in September 2021.

“We weren’t expected to hire anyone for the first six months, or even the first year,” he said. “This is something they tell you when you start out,” she said in the video. ‘This was the crazy part, that’s why we had so many team meetings. Why do we meet? We are not hiring anyone.’

Before getting her job at Meta, Macho wasn’t very active on TikTok, but she had received positive feedback on her video about the company’s benefits package. However, as he began to post more, HR became more critical of his content, eventually telling him to stop.

Now Macho has revealed that she was fired from Mark Zuckerberg’s company in February 2022 after posting about the diversity program that worked to present a broader pipeline of candidates for recruiting jobs.

“I thought it was a great opportunity, and most of my new followers were diverse candidates, so I wanted to share it. This time it didn’t go so well: my boss called me and said that Human Resources wanted me to remove it,” he said. Business Insider. ‘She was so scared. I didn’t want to break any rules, so after that, I decided not to share anything about Meta anymore. He was straight scared.

However, I kept posting on TikTok. I posted general resume tips and shared which companies were hiring or which websites helped with salary negotiations.’

Even though its content strayed from his own work at Meta, HR. H H. She still wasn’t very satisfied and he mentioned his account to her again in January.

‘This time, I decided to put my notice up and quit, but then I got fired the following week. They said my posts were a conflict of interest,” he told Business Insider.

She was then offered a job at LinkedIn, which she accepted, shortly after being fired from Meta. However, she left in April 2022, despite the ‘great culture’ and benefits of it because her TikTok had grown so much, and she decided it was time to have her own business.

Meta’s recent job cuts, which reduced its workforce by 13 percent, came as CEO Mark Zuckerberg tries to recoup struggling revenue streams from the tech giant.

Having poured at least $10 billion into developing the ‘metaverse’ in the past two years, it has announced several rounds of layoffs to save its bottom line.

Confirming this month’s layoffs, Zuckerberg said: “Overall, we expect to reduce the size of our team by about 10,000 people and close about 5,000 additional open positions that we haven’t hired yet.”
