Former employees from companies including Meta Platforms Inc. and Twitter Inc. are taking to TikTok to give an unfiltered behind-the-scenes look at the mass layoffs hitting the tech industry.
A video by someone claiming to be a former Twitter employee inviting viewers to “get ready with me to see if I got fired” has garnered over half a million views and 80,000 likes. Get Ready With Me (#GRWM) is a popular TikTok book where users invite followers to join them as they do their makeup and get dressed for work, a night out, or a first date. Other recent videos are emotional and raw, opening soon after the news broke. Some even share snippets from the moment they release them.
