New Delhi: After sacking 11,000 workers in November and announcing 10,000 job cuts in March this year, Meta’s president of global affairs, Nick Clegg, has informed of more layoffs during a company-wide meeting. The next round of layoffs will be held in May 2023. Now, more details about the same have been leaked online before the official announcement.
The cited source reported that as many as 6,000 employees will be fired from Meta starting next week, Indian Today reported. Meta, which is the parent company of Facebook, has eliminated 4,000 employees, which means that 6,000 more people are left on the list who will be asked to leave in May this year.
“The third wave is going to happen next week. That affects everybody in the biz teams, including in my orgs,” Clegg said. “It’s just a time of great anxiety and uncertainty. … I wish I could have some easy way of providing solace or comfort. It is uncertain. And actually, it’s really increased my admiration for the way that everyone — notwithstanding that uncertainty — you’re just displaying such resilience and professionalism,” he added.
The cited source claims that the seniors at Meta will soon send a note to employees, informing them about when the layoff process will start and what teams will be impacted by layoffs. The employees that will be affected by this will then receive an email for the same, as per the report.
