As Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) reportedly moves to boost employee morale following layoffs and organizational changes with improved office perks, an X executive appeared to joke about poaching the company’s engineers by promising even better "snacks."
X Uses Meta’s Morale Push To Recruit Engineers
The latest jab in the battle for tech talent came after Meta Chief Technology Officer Andrew Bosworth said the company would improve snacks and beverages in its office kitchens as part of a broader effort to boost employee morale, Business Insider reported earlier this month, citing a memo.
On Thursday, Nikita Bier, a product executive at Elon Musk’s X, quickly turned the development into a joke recruiting campaign.
"Neglected Meta employees: X is hiring web and data engineers & scientists," Bier wrote on X. "We will match or even exceed any snack budget offer."
