SAN FRANCISCO – Facebook parent Meta Platforms is planning additional layoffs to be announced in multiple rounds over the next few months, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.
These terminations could match the 13 per cent job cut tally from last year, said WSJ.
Meta let go of 11,000 employees four months ago and would be the first Big Tech company to announce a second round of mass layoffs.
The first wave of the new cuts will be announced next week and are likely to hit non-engineering roles the hardest, according to the report.
The company is also expected to shut down some projects and teams in conjunction with these cuts, the report added.
