Meta is laying off 10 percent of its staff

Meta is preparing to lay off about 8,000 employees and close roughly 6,000 open roles, with notifications set for May 20.

The restructuring reflects Meta’s push to concentrate spending on AI, data centers, and other high-priority investments.

The move underscores a broader effort to improve cost efficiency even as the company expands AI ambitions, including Meta Superintelligence Labs.
