Meta plans to initiate the first wave of layoffs on May 20, with further cuts anticipated later in 2026.

Meta's latest round of layoffs, estimated to impact about 6,000 people, is part of the company's 'Year of Efficiency' restructuring.

Meta is considering layoffs affecting up to 20% of its workforce to offset heavy AI infrastructure spending and boost productivity.

Meta plans to lay off another 10,000 employees as part of its 'Year of Efficiency' initiative, following previous cuts in November 2022.

Meta begins a new round of layoffs, cutting 4,000 jobs immediately as part of a larger plan to reduce 10,000 jobs amid a tech industry slump.
