Meta LAyoffs: Once again the discussion of large-scale layoff of employees has intensified in Meta Platforms, a well-known company in the tech world. According to media reports, the company may reduce about 20 percent of its total workforce. Due to which the jobs of about 16,000 employees are likely to be affected.
It is being told that this step can be taken to balance the increasing expenditure on technology and infrastructure related to Artificial Intelligence (AI). Also, the company wants to create such a team in future which can work more effectively and faster with the help of AI. However, at present no official date has been set for this possible layoff…
Thousands of employees in danger due to possible layoff
According to corporate filings, as of December 31, 2025, about 79,000 people were working in the company. In such a situation, if the company cuts its workforce by about 20 percent, then the jobs of about 16,000 employees may be in danger.
If this plan is implemented, it will be considered the biggest layoff of the company after the large-scale restructuring done during 2022–23. At present this step is being considered probable and the final decision is yet to be known.
The company has already retrenched a large number of employees. In November 2022, the company had shown the way out to about 11,000 employees, which was about 13 percent of its total workforce at that time. Now once again the possibility of mass layoffs is being discussed.
