Reports Point to Job Cuts
Media reports which used internal sources to obtain information about Meta's operational plans indicate that the company will terminate approximately 8000 employees. The company has not confirmed this information yet.
Timeline and Scope
The first phase will begin on May 20. Around 10 percent of the workforce may be affected at this stage. The total workforce reduction will approach 20 percent because more employees will be terminated throughout the rest of the year.
Current Status
All details remain unconfirmed. Meta has not issued an official statement, so the timeline and numbers may change.
Past Layoffs
Meta has reduced its workforce before. The company terminated 11000 employees in 2022 and 10000 employees in 2023. The new plan could become one of its largest rounds of layoffs.
Focus on Artificial Intelligence
The company is making substantial financial investments in artificial intelligence technology. Reports suggest it may spend up to $600 billion on data centers by 2028. The planned job cuts appear to be connected with this organizational change.
