The article is also poorly written. The author clearly know that Meta is the parent company, so are the 12.000 people across all Meta properties, or just Facebook? Given that Meta, not Facebook, have 83.000 employees (which seems like a lot to be honest), the 12.000 is across all Meta owned companies. That could mean that Meta is dropping a bunch of projects that doesn't make money, firing the people working on them, while those working in profit centers a safe, for now. I wouldn't be surprised if moderations is going to take a big hit.
As others pointed out "quiet layoff" is a weird term to use, that could mean that initially they won't rehire, at least not externally, when people quit.
I lived there 2012-2017, never had an issue with dating/making friends/getting promotions at work. There were of course many women that would only date mormon men, but the non-mormon population was big enough that I didn't think about it much.
I worked for multiple tech companies there, had plenty of non-mormon co-workers (and bosses!), and while people did talk about mormon things sometimes in social settings, it was never pushed on me, nor did anyone make a big deal that I wasn't mormon.
I should mention I lived in downtown SLC, which is arguably more liberal/secular, and I worked for companies both in and outside the city.
The saving grace is a lot of teams aren’t really doing anything that critical, so the on call is more a formality bc that’s what real teams do. Still pointlessly stressful but less serious.
Wasn't she just a product manager?
As far back as 2014, I remember there being a huge ecosystem of "premium" snaps (sometimes known as "prem(ium) girls"), whereby you would pay the account owner a one time or recurring fee for access to a "premium" snapchat account where the owner posts nudes/etc, essentially OnlyFans-like content. Owner would typically accept payment through any number of ways (paypal/cashapp being most common), and "customer" would provide proof of payment by sending screenshot of receipt that the owner then confirms.
The premium account owner would also typically have a free/open account where they would post free content / teasers/etc, essentially marketing/advertising for their premium account. They would sometimes also market their account on Twitter and Reddit and especially Tinder (and one less popular app by the name of Whisper), much like OnlyFans content creators do today.
As far as I know, this preceded the popularity of OnlyFans and remains a popular use case for Snapchat. I don't use Snapchat much myself nowadays, but I used to be a customer of many of these premium snaps years ago. When I do log in once in a while, many of these accounts are still active, though some are also advertising their OnlyFans.
I think Snap officially bans this practice, but by nature these accounts are private and the owner adds users on a one by one basis, so I don't imagine they get reported a whole lot.
The fact that the content is ephemeral surely helps and is probably one of the main reasons the content creators choose Snap as their platform. Snap also tells you when users screenshot your content, which would often result in getting banned from the premium Snap. Unlike OnlyFans, which cannot get in the AppStore and is relegated to being web-only, Snapchat is mobile-only, making it harder for users to download the content, which is another appeal for these "premium" content creators.

how does this change anything? feels more symbolic than anything
while I had no problem signing up online, you can only cancel your membership in person at your "home" location, or by sending them a certified mail letter formally request cancellation (which I have tried and failed apparently because I never heard back)
I now live on the other side of the country, so it feels ridiculous to spend money on a flight ticket just to cancel a gym membership
worse, Planet Fitness requires you provide bank account/routing number for payment, so there is no way to cancel payment unless I switch bank accounts
