"Meta's layoffs are part of a rolling series of workforce reductions that have accelerated sharply in 2026, as the company redirects resources toward artificial intelligence and away from divisions that no longer sit at the centre of Mark Zuckerberg's strategic vision."
"Since Zuckerberg declared 2023 the 'year of efficiency,' a programme that eliminated more than 21,000 roles in 2022 and 2023, the company has never fully stopped cutting."
Meta has begun cutting hundreds of jobs across various divisions, including Reality Labs and global operations, as part of a broader strategy to focus on artificial intelligence. This follows previous layoffs, including 1,500 positions in Reality Labs and around 3,600 performance-based terminations. The company has been in a state of contraction since declaring 2023 the 'year of efficiency,' with over 21,000 roles eliminated in the past two years. A spokesperson confirmed the restructuring and efforts to find new opportunities for affected employees.
