Meta Deepens Workforce Cuts as AI Investments Reshape Workforce Strategy

Meta is preparing another major layoff round, cutting about 8,000 jobs and eliminating 6,000 unfilled roles.

At the same time, roughly 7,000 employees will be shifted into AI-focused work as Meta restructures around its AI strategy.

The move reflects a broader cost-cutting push and shows how big tech is redirecting talent and capital toward AI.

It also signals continued pressure on traditional roles as the industry raises expectations for efficiency and productivity.
