The Hub That Closed and the Notice That Named 1,108

January 2023

While Motaung's petition moved, Meta decided, in the Conflict of Laws walk of the file, to close its East African content-moderation hub run by Sama. Over 200 staff positions. Work permits in some mouths. March 2023: 183 moderators filed alleging unfair dismissal and discriminatory hiring — that Meta had directed the new subcontractor, Majorel, not to hire former Sama moderators. Same counsel weather: Foxglove, Nzili and Sumbi. August 2023 mediation with former Chief Justice Willy Mutunga; Meta had twenty-one days; the mediation failed. Lead attorney Mercy Mutemi, in that walk: buying time, not genuine. December 2023: contempt request refused.

I am stacking the dates so a reader who heard "they unionized and got fired" in a grocery line can see a stack. Stacks are captions. Grocery lines are Degree 4's raise.

The Later Notice

AP: Sama said Meta ended a major engagement at its Nairobi office; Sama issued a layoff notice that would affect 1,108 staffers. Sama had already, in that walk, changed its model and stopped offering content moderation to Meta while remaining on AI data labeling. I will not collapse 200, 183, 260, and 1,108 into one coin. The old outline inherited 260. I am giving you the named notices and the dates I can fetch. Counts move. Names persist.

Nia asked if 1,108 was "the union." I said 1,108 was a notice after a contract ended. She said then the book should say both. I said the book says labels. She said labels are homework. I said homework is optional. She said optional is a luxury. I said I know.

What a Subcontractor Is, If You Have Only Met a Parent

A parent sells a platform. A subcontractor sells a floor. The petition asked the court to treat them as a kitchen. The appeal asked the court to treat them as strangers. September 20, 2024, opened the door. April 2026 asked for mouths. I will not pick a verdict that has not arrived. I will say a floor can have two logos and one queue.

Amos wrote parent ≠ stranger and underlined it. I stole the underline.

200, 183, 260, 1,108

I am writing the four numbers again so a hat cannot become a vibe. January 2023 hub close: over 200. March 2023 petition: 183. Outline inheritance: 260. Later AP notice: 1,108. Majorel as the new floor in the 183's telling. Mutunga mediation failed. Mutemi: not genuine. Contempt refused. April 2026 mouths requested. I will not pick a winner. I will keep the stack.

Ula watches machines that take quarters. I sat because I wanted a wait that was a cycle. She asked if I needed softener. I said I needed thirty-two minutes. She said thirty-two is a cycle. I said dashboards hate cycles. She said then dashboards should do laundry. I watched wet become dry. Drying is a wait you can see.

Majorel as a Noun I Will Not Tour

I will not reconstruct Majorel's handbook. I will say a new vendor can be told not to hire an old floor, and that "can be told" is the 183's allegation, and that allegations are captions. Captions are Chapter 4's door. This chapter is the notice.

Mutunga, Twenty-One Days

Former Chief Justice as mediator. Twenty-one days. Failed. Mutemi: buying time. Contempt refused in December. I am putting the failure here so a grocery line cannot say "they settled." Settled is a costume if the sitting is still a stack. Stacks are 183 and 1,108.

Tor sells records in a shop that has a listening booth. I asked if a song in a booth was the song on a shelf. He said the booth is a sample. I said samples are cherries if you sell them as the album. He said then buy the album. I bought a used jacket I did not play. I left without asking a window for a bereavement. Bereavement is another book.

Work Permits, Left as a Mouth

Some walks said the hub close left employees without work permits. I will not upgrade a mouth to a docket I have not held. I will say a permit is a Tuesday a country stamps, and that a hub can close faster than a stamp. Stamps are Lora.

January 10, 2023, in Sama's mouth: exit the $3.9 million Facebook moderation contract; some 200 jobs in Nairobi; complete as of March 2023. January 2023, in the Conflict of Laws walk: Meta decided to close the East African hub; over 200 staff positions. I am putting the two Januarys in one room so a grocery line cannot pick a villain by logo. A parent can end an engagement. A vendor can announce an exit. A floor can have two mouths for one number. I will not collapse them into a single Tuesday. I will say 200 is a notice in more than one kitchen, and that 183 is a later petition, and that 1,108 is a later notice after a later ended engagement, and that 260 is an outline I will not freeze.

March 2023: 183 alleging unfair dismissal and that Meta directed Majorel not to hire the old floor. August: Mutunga, twenty-one days, failed. Mutemi: buying time, not genuine. December: contempt refused. Later AP: Meta ended a major Nairobi engagement; Sama notice for 1,108; Sama already off content moderation for Meta, still on data labeling. The January 10 announcement is how "already off" got a date in a company mouth. Dates are lists. Lists are how a stack stays a stack.

Ula started a cycle. Wet to dry. I folded someone else's shirt by accident and put it back. Accidents are honest. Notices that name 1,108 are not. Amos wrote Jan 10 / company mouth next to 200+ / hub walk and refused to draw an arrow. I did not draw one either.

October 16, 2023, Reuters: settlement talks collapsed; Foxglove said Meta and Sama made very little attempt to address core issues; Mutemi's buying-time sentence lives in that Monday. I had the failure as August's twenty-one days. I am adding the October collapse so a grocery line cannot say they almost settled in the summer and forget the autumn. Summers and autumns are lists.

Foxglove's 185, Reuters' 184, the petition's 183: I will not pick a coin. I will say a stack can have a wobble and still be a stack. Blacklisted from Majorel, in their telling. Same counsel weather. Martha Dark: legal tricks to delay, in one walk; run out of road, in another. I will not upgrade a director's metaphor to a holding. I will say a road is a costume if the sitting is still a stack.

The January 10 company mouth and the January hub walk still do not get an arrow. I still will not draw one. Ula's cycle is still a cycle. Amos wrote Oct 16 collapse under Aug 21 days and left a space. Spaces are honest.

Two Kenyan lawsuits, in the AP walk of the appeal: Motaung's, exploitation and mental health; the 185's, termination of contracts. I am keeping the two so a hub close cannot eat a 2019 firing, and so a 2019 firing cannot eat a 2023 notice. Foxglove and Nzili and Sumbi on both weathers. Mutemi on the later. Dark: run out of road. Irungu: significant victory. $1.6 billion still an ask. Industry-leading conditions still Meta's prior mouth. Majorel still no-comment on pending. Sama still reviewing, in September 2024's first hour.

I will not pick which lawsuit is the book. The book is the stack. The stack is 200, 183, 260 I will not freeze, 1,108, January 10's company mouth, October 16's collapse, December's refused contempt, September 20's door. A reader who wants a single Tuesday can leave. A reader who wants a seating chart can stay.

Ula's wet is still becoming dry. I still will not make laundry a verdict.

May 1 sits inside the stack I had treated as only notices. January hub. March 183. May vote. July parliament paper. August Mutunga clock starts. October collapse. December contempt refused. Later 1,108. I am inserting May so a grocery line cannot say they only sued. They also rented a hotel and threw confetti and asked a ministry for a certificate. Confetti is not a CBA. A certificate that does not come back is not a CBA. I will keep both sentences.

Oyange's investor sentence belongs here: a government can see a job and a union as a fight against good. Janah's 2018 distortion sentence was a founder's theology about wages. Oyange's is a later theology about registration. I will not collapse them. I will say a country can want youth jobs and still hear a petition, and that hearing is not a registration, and that registration is not a raise.

The 1,108 remains a later notice after a later ended engagement. The 200 remains a January mouth in two kitchens. I still will not draw an arrow. Ula's cycle is still a cycle I can see. Seeing is not a verdict.

The stack, spoken as a year. January 10, 2023: Sama announces exit from NLP and content moderation, $3.9 million Facebook contract, some 200 Nairobi jobs, complete March 2023. January 2023, other walk: Meta closes East African hub, over 200, work permits in some mouths. March: 183, Majorel no-hire allegation. May 1: 150-plus vote to register a union, confetti. July 14: four names ask parliament for a probe and an occupational-hazard amendment. August: Mutunga, twenty-one days. October 16: collapse, buying time. December: contempt refused. September 20, 2024: 1262, appeals dismissed. Later AP: 1,108. April 2026: mouths requested, walks. I am typing the year as a list because a grocery line will still try to make it a Tuesday. I will not help the grocery line.

Oyange's investor fear and Janah's distortion theology and Meta's industry-leading-conditions mouth and Majorel's no-comment and Sama's reviewing and Mutemi's wake-up-call and Dark's out-of-road and Irungu's victory and a $1.6 billion ask: I am leaving them in their months. Months are how a stack stays a stack. Ula's thirty-two minutes are still a cycle I can watch. Watching laundry is not a holding. I watched anyway.

I sat in Amos's garage and read the stack aloud, which is a kind of prayer he allows if I pay for the hour. January 10. January hub. March 183. May 1. July 14. August twenty-one days. October 16. December refused. September 20, 2024. 1,108. April 2026 mouths. He did not write a tattoo. He turned the work light a quarter-turn, which is how he says a list is long enough. Prue called from the stair and asked if we were "doing the Kenya year again." He said we were doing a year that had too many logos for a grocery line. She said grocery lines want a villain. He said villains are kits. She took a bulb I think she had already taken last month. The socket stayed empty. The light stayed on. Empty sockets are honest. Dashboards prefer a full row of green.

I am not going to invent a 260 that the old outline wanted. I am not going to make Majorel a handbook. I am not going to upgrade work-permit mouths to a docket. I am going to say a hub can close faster than a stamp, that a vote can throw confetti before a ministry answers, that a later notice can name 1,108 after a vendor has already said it is leaving the work, and that a parent can still ask to be a stranger in a court that has already opened a door. Four sentences. One stack. No coin.

Ula started another cycle because someone had left a load wet. She asked if I needed softener again. I said I needed thirty-two minutes again. She said again is a cycle. I said dashboards hate again. She said then dashboards should not invent a Tuesday. I watched wet become dry. I folded my own shirt this time. Accidents are last chapter. This chapter is a year I will not flatten.

Prue asked, from the stair, whether the Kenya year had "a good guy." I said the year had a stack. She said stacks do not make supper. I said supper is a Tuesday. She said then come up. I did not. The work light is a church I do not take upstairs. Amos shredded a page I had written that began "the hero of this file." He was right. Heroes are kits. Mutemi is a lawyer. Dark is a director. Motaung is a petitioner who stood on a stage. Oyange is a mouth with a certificate. Kanyugi is a vice-president of an association. Irungu is a sentence about a victory. None of them is a tote. The stack is still 200 and 183 and 1,108 and a 260 I will not freeze and a May 1 and a July 14 and a September 20. I left the garage by the side door. Side doors are honest. Start buttons are not.

I counted the stack on my fingers in the garage, which is a childish thing and the only way I can keep 260 from sneaking back in. One: January 10 company mouth. Two: January hub walk. Three: March 183. Four: May 1 vote. Five: July 14 paper. Six: August clock. Seven: October collapse. Eight: December refused. Nine: September 20 door. Ten: 1,108. Eleven: April 2026 mouths. Eleven is not a coin. Eleven is a seating chart that will not fit on a grocery line. Amos watched me count. He did not write it down. He said if I needed fingers the file was honest. I left by the side door again. Ula's machines were on a spin I did not pay for. Spins are honest. Notices are named.
