Facebook parent Meta on Wednesday began its latest round of layoffs focusing on technical workers, who are often thought of as more immune to job cuts in Silicon Valley.
Meta spokesperson Nkechi Nneji confirmed to CNN that some previously announced layoffs were taking place Wednesday, and pointed to CEO Mark Zuckerberg's March announcement that the company would cut another 10,000 employees in the coming months.Zuckerberg's notice said that restructurings and layoffs in Meta's tech groups would take place in April.
Members of Meta's recruiting team were notified of additional layoffs last month, and cuts to the company's business groups are expected to take place in late May. In September, Meta reported a headcount of 87,314, per a securities filing. With 11,000 job cuts announced in November and the 10,000 announced last month, Meta's headcount will fall to around 66,000 — a total reduction of about 25 per cent.
Zuckerberg said last month that, in some cases, it may take through the end of this year to complete its staff restructuring processes.
