META is laying off employees across units including Instagram, WhatsApp and Reality Labs, the Verge reported on Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter.
A Meta spokesman told Reuters in a statement that a few of its teams were making changes to align with their long-term strategic goals and location strategy.'This includes moving some teams to different locations, and moving some employees to different roles. In situations like these when a role is eliminated, we work hard to find other opportunities for impacted employees,' the spokesman said.
Separately, the Financial Times reported that Meta fired another two dozen staff in Los Angeles for allegedly using their daily $25 meal credits to instead buy household items including acne pads, wine glasses and laundry detergent.These terminations are separate from the team restructurings and took place last week, the FT report saidMeta declined to comment on the FT report.
