Meta admits AI-driven staffing pivot had missteps and pledges course correction

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in an internal memo that the company’s rapid AI‑driven workforce overhaul included mistakes, referencing a May restructuring that cut about 10% of staff and moved 7,000 employees to AI initiatives. Meta plans to reassign workers to train AI models, boost team-building activities, and host a July hackathon, while dialing back extensive manager oversight and saying there will be no broad layoffs this year, with 2026 capital spending guided at $125‑$145 billion.
