Meta layoff standby resources

This standby activation is live before the reported date so Meta professionals can prepare proof without treating an unconfirmed event as already complete.

As of May 16, 2026, public reporting points to May 20, 2026 as the expected first wave. The page should keep using reported, expected, and standby language until the date, scope, or confirmation changes.
