Meta Plans Layoffs Affecting Over 20% of Staff
Meta is preparing sweeping job cuts that could affect more than 20% of its workforce, as the company looks to offset surging costs from its artificial intelligence infrastructure bets while banking on AI to reduce its need for human workers. No date or final figure has been set, but three sources confirmed the plans to Reuters. The cuts would be among the largest in the company's history, dwarfing the 11,000 roles it shed in 2022.
