"Today, a few teams at Meta are making changes to ensure resources are aligned with their long-term strategic goals and location strategy," Arnold said. "This includes moving some teams to different locations, and moving some employees to different roles. In situations like this when a role is eliminated, we work hard to find other opportunities for impacted employees."
In 2022, Meta laid off 11,000 people, around 13% of its workforce. In 2023, CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced a 'year of efficiency,' which included more layoffs of around 10,000 people.
Employees have confirmed the news on social media, including Jane Manchun Wong, a former tech journalist who joined Threads in 2023.
In July, Meta reported a $4.5 billion quarterly loss in its Reality Labs division, which runs metaverse and VR projects.
