Meta chops 8,000 in May layoff spree, and it's only getting worse

Meta reportedly cut about 8,000 jobs in May as it continued shifting resources toward AI.

Employees were notified in waves by email after earlier warnings of a 10% workforce reduction.

The company is also moving thousands of roles toward AI-focused work, signaling a broader restructuring.

Mark Zuckerberg told staff he does not expect additional company-wide layoffs this year.

The cuts highlight Meta’s push for efficiency and AI investment, with implications for workers and profitability.
