-parent Meta is slashing another 10,000 jobs and will not fill 5,000 open positions as the social media pioneer cuts costs.
The company said Tuesday it will reduce the size of its recruiting team and make further cuts in its tech groups in late April, and then its business groups in late May. "This will be tough and there's no way around that," said CEO Mark Zuckerberg. "It will mean saying goodbye to talented and passionate colleagues who have been part of our success."
The Menlo Park, California, company has invested billions of dollars to realign its focus on the metaverse. In February, it posted lower fourth-quarter profit and revenue, hurt by a downturn in the online advertising market and competition from rivals such as TikTok."As I've talked about efficiency this year, I've said that part of our work will involve removing jobs -- and that will be in service of both building a leaner, more technical company and improving our business performance to enable our long term vision," said Zuckerberg.
