Meta employees who were laid off received a bizarre package from their former employer, known as "Leaver"

On the morning of December 23, Beijing time, it was reported that a former Meta employee said he had received a strange package from the company a month after he was laid off, with the words "leaver" on it.

Researcher Matt Motyl said he was fired by Meta in November despite a better-than-expected performance review. But in December, the company sent him a box with no note, only two emoji signs: a surprised face and a sad face, all with a lanyard.

Motor thought it might be a Christmas tree pendant, but some people commented that it might be a luggage tag. However, since the package only says "leaving the person", the real effect is not yet known.

"it's puzzling that a company sent you something after firing you during the holiday season," Motor tweeted. "

Others questioned the authenticity of the package, thinking it might be a prank. But Motor confirmed that the package was indeed sent from Meta's office with his work number written on the box.

A week later, Motor revealed that he had received four large boxes from Meta and asked him to return the Quest 1 virtual reality headers and handles he had received from the company.

In November, Meta announced 11000 job cuts.

In a series of tweets about the boxes, Motol called them "very strange". He also revealed that he heard that other former Meta employees had also received strange things sent to them.

"someone wrote to me privately that they had also received some random messages," Motor said. One man told me that he had received an open case of bourbon and he remembered seeing it near his desk before layoffs. "

Meta responded: "We packed and mailed the items left on the desks of the laid-off employees. We thought they were their personal belongings, so we mailed them."
