By 2021, Meta registered 71,970 workers worldwide.
Meta’s revenues were approximately $117 billion.
Meta generated $114.93 billion in advertising revenue that year.
Human capital and employee stories are very popular and viral on social media. This is the case of a video that went viral on TikTok, as a woman who identifies herself as a former Meta employee confessed how she earned 3 million Mexican pesos by working for only six months and never “did anything.”
This case caught the attention of the digital pulse, because Meta is one of the most important companies in the technology industry, which is why many want to work in the company.
According to data from its annual report, Facebook’s parent company expanded its workforce continuously throughout the period of 2021, for which it currently registers 71,970 workers. Likewise, the same report detailed that this represents an increase in the number of employees of more than 20 percent compared to 2020, where, of them, 59 were Facebook workers in Spain, as of 2019.
I work at Meta and I earned doing nothing
Through a video on the TikTok social network, @maddie_macho, a former Meta employee, confessed how her time in the technology company led by Mark Zuckerberg was.
In the viral recording, the woman indicated that her time at the social media company was six months, where she worked as a talent recruiter.
Maddie began the video titled “I get paid $190,000 (approximately 3,439,000 Mexican pesos) for doing nothing at Meta,” and explained that Meta was not hiring anyone at that time.
“That left me speechless… I thought, ‘perfect, I’m only going to hold out for a year, obviously I didn’t achieve that,'” the young woman explained in her video.
Despite the fact that the young woman had nothing to do during her working day, she adds that they held meetings and team meetings only to hear from each other that they were not hiring anyone.
“The most we did, this is the crazy part, is we had a lot of team meetings. Why do we meet? We weren’t hiring anyone. Only to hear how everyone else wasn’t hiring anyone. Also, I was on a team where everyone was new,” she said.

In the video, the woman did not explain the reason why she stopped working at the company, so the recording left several comments, where Internet users thought that it is crazy to earn 190,000 dollars in six months without doing anything.
“Getting paid $190,000 for doing nothing is crazy,” said one netizen.
“I had the same experience for 4 months. Easiest paycheck ever lol,” another intern wrote.
“I was making a lot of money at Amazon and I didn’t hire anyone. Raised $80,000 login and voluntary severance pay,” wrote another netizen.
It is worth mentioning that in 2022, Meta froze hiring due to global economic instability. And this would be the reason that Maggie did nothing on her working days.
Like this story, there are more on social networks, especially TikTok, for example Amazon or Google employees, who show their digital community what their day-to-day life is like in their positions in the company.
In summary, these digital spaces continue to win as a showcase for everything that is wanted to report on a large scale and generate a debate in the community.
