Meta Completes Major Layoffs, Focuses on AI with No Further Cuts Planned This YearPreviousNext

Meta has completed a major restructuring involving around 8,000 global layoffs, approximately 10% of its workforce, including about a dozen job cuts in India affecting ad sales and marketing roles. CEO Mark Zuckerberg assured employees there will be no further company-wide layoffs this year and acknowledged communication issues during the process. The restructuring aims to create smaller, more agile teams focused on artificial intelligence initiatives, with significant increased investment in AI.
