Meta lays off another 1,500 workers – Bloomberg

Meta Platforms began a new round of layoffs announced earlier this week, laying off 1,500 recruits and HR executives.

This was reported by Bloomberg, citing sources, reported Ukrinform.

As noted, the company’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, said in a meeting with employees on Thursday that the economic situation linked to layoffs and restructuring could persist for years.

As previously reported, Zuckerberg announced that Meta would need to lay off about 10,000 people and close hiring for 5,000 vacancies.

Last November, Meta laid off about 13% of its workforce, or 11,000 people. According to Zuckerberg, these layoffs were more tied to employee productivity, and current ones are driven by financial reasons and product priorities.

Meta, which has invested billions of dollars to create a futuristic Metaverse, is battling a post-pandemic slump in ad spend.
