Facebook parent company Meta will lay off 11,000 employees, 13% of its workforce, CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced. In a message to employees, Zuckerberg said the company plans to take additional steps “to become a leaner and more efficient company.”

"Unfortunately, this did not play out the way I expected," he said."Not only has online commerce returned to prior trends, but the macroeconomic downturn, increased competition, and ads signal loss have caused our revenue to be much lower than I’d expected. I got this wrong, and I take responsibility for that."

Zuckerberg said Meta also would put in place other cost-cutting measures, including shrinking the company's real estate footprint and maintaining a hiring freeze through the first quarter of 2023. In a third-quarter earnings call last month, Zuckerberg had said he expected Meta to enter 2023 with roughly the same headcount.

“In 2023, we're going to focus our investments on a small number of high priority growth areas,” Zuckerberg said. “In aggregate, we expect to end 2023 as either roughly the same size, or even a slightly smaller organization than we are today.”

Why don’t they want us to know this?

Didn't we just do this with Twitter and ppl cared?

Laying off such a big number will create another sense of insecurity and financial distress in the whole world

Billionaires don't have enough money for their workers, what a shame 😔

Good opportunity to short the Meta stock but sad for the folks losing their jobs.
