Meta’s Zuckerberg promises no more company-wide layoffs this year after 8,000-job cut

Meta cut about 8,000 jobs (roughly 10% of staff) in three waves, with 7,000 reassigned to AI projects and roughly 6,000 roles scrapped. In an email to remaining employees, Mark Zuckerberg promised there would be no further company-wide layoffs this year and acknowledged that Meta’s communications during the layoffs had been poor. The company is pouring money into AI-related infrastructure and research, and severance for those let go includes 16 weeks’ pay plus 2 weeks per year worked, plus 18 months of COBRA coverage, as the corporate rethink continues for what survives—about 70,000 employees.
