Fresh layoffs begin at Meta (formerly Facebook) globally

SAN FRANCISCO: Meta (formerly Facebook) has kicked off a fresh round of layoffs, handing over pink slips to employees with technical backgrounds globally. Several Meta employees went to LinkedIn to post their ordeal, saying they have been asked to go.

“I woke up this morning to the unfortunate news that I was one of the many laid-off from Meta today. If you have any career opportunities, please feel free to share with me! My focus for the past 3 years have been primarily on establishing programs focused on increasing OpEx & headcount org efficiency,” posted Teresa Jimenez, business Programme manager at Facebook.

She said that several “product-centred Technical Program Managers unfortunately have been impacted today as well. Please reach out to me if you have any opportunities and I’ll introduce”.

The job cuts have impacted people working in verticals like user experience, software engineering, graphics programming and other roles. A Meta spokesperson confirmed to CNBC the cuts had started. (IANS)
