A laid-off Meta worker says she's struggling after not getting the 16 weeks of severance her fellow employees received: 'I'm going through my kids' closet and selling their old clothes'

• Meta employees who were laid off at the end of last year received 16 weeks or more of severance pay. 
• Workers in a year-long diversity program only received eight weeks of pay. 
• One worker told Insider that it's one example of how Meta failed its underrepresented workers. 

When Brit Levy, 35, got laid off from Facebook parent company Meta in November, she refused to sign the severance agreement. 

The severance package, like many, includes stipulations for unauthorized media statements, non-disparagement, and confidentiality. 

And Levy wanted to be able to tell her story.
