Meta Platforms has notified employees that approximately 10% of its workforce will be laid off, with affected employees receiving notifications at 4 a.m. local time. Among them, about 7,000 employees will be reassigned to projects related to artificial intelligence, while the company will also implement a flatter management structure. This marks another reorganization by Meta to control costs and focus on its AI strategy, following a large-scale layoff in 2025. CEO Mark Zuckerberg is shifting resources toward AI and the metaverse. Despite employee dissatisfaction over the early morning notifications, this approach aims to improve notification efficiency across global time zones.
