Fixing The Office Noise Problem, Talking Child Care With Commerce And More

Facebook is facing a proposed class-action lawsuit filed by a software engineer who says the company refused to hire him because it preferred to hire noncitizens with H-1B visas, the Los Angeles Times reports.

The suit alleges that Meta, Facebook's holding company, has altered its "culture memo" to make it more difficult for noncitizens.

The memo, which was updated last week, notes that the company has "struggled to thrive" over the last 15 years "in the quest for excellence."

The US Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit ruled Thursday that the suit should go forward.

The suit was brought by Gleeson Gleeson on behalf of four noncitizens who claim Meta refused to hire them because they were in the country on H-1B visas, which are good for work in the US but not necessarily good for pay.

A lower court had allowed the suit to go forward, but the ruling was overturned by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday.

"The facts and circumstances of this case warrant a decision on the merits," the judges wrote.

(A recent study found that people who work from home are more likely to be distracted at the office.)
