Meta is planning to cut 5% of its workforce, according to an internal memo shared by CEO Mark Zuckerberg to employees and acquired by Bloomberg.
According to estimates, Meta's workforce currently stands at approximately 72,500 employees, which indicates that the layoffs would impact a minimum of 3,600 individuals identified as "low performers."
"In the memo, Zuckerberg stated, 'Usually, we address underperforming employees gradually throughout the year, but this time we will implement more significant performance-related reductions in this cycle.'"
"This year is set to be quite intense."
“I’ve made the decision to elevate our standards for performance management and to swiftly part ways with low performers,” Zuckerberg remarked, adding that the company plans to fill the vacant positions through 2025
