On Tuesday evening, local time, certain Meta employees were notified via emails from the HR department that they would be required to work remotely starting the following day. This directive primarily affects the wearable devices and advertising business divisions, with management set to provide additional details. Meta has tasked some of its management teams with devising cost-reduction strategies, hinting at layoffs that could potentially impact up to one-fifth or even more of its total workforce. Assuming an estimated workforce of approximately 79,000 by the end of 2025, the number of employees facing layoffs could near 16,000. Concurrently, Meta is ramping up its investment in AI, with AI glasses and augmented reality wearable devices emerging as key investment areas for 2026. Earlier this year, in January, Meta had already implemented layoffs and strategic realignments within its Reality Labs unit. Furthermore, the company has rolled out an equity incentive program to enhance motivation for its executives. Over the past year, Meta's stock price has experienced a decline of around 3%.
