Next Week Will Be A Meta Employee's Bad Dream, Plan Again Thousands Of Layoffs!

JAKARTA - Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg kept his promise to make 2023 a year of efficiency. In the next few days, the company is rumored to be cutting thousands more workers.

This efficiency will follow the mass layoffs (PHK) that were carried out in November last year, where the company fired 11,000 employees globally, equivalent to about 13 percent of its workforce.

Currently, the social media giant is reshaping its organization to focus more on developing the metaverse.

Metaverse itself has recently become something ambitious for Zuckerberg, it's a world that takes advantage of virtual reality to work while playing.

Zuckerberg himself hopes that the metaverse will prove popular in the years to come. In addition, he also aims to further develop Artificial Intelligence (AI) products.

Evidently, late last month Zuckerberg announced the company would bring many AI specialists under one roof to form an integrated unit.

Citing an internal source obtained by Bloomberg, through Digital Trends, Wednesday, March 8, it is claimed that the second round of layoffs will be realized next week.

A vulnerable role in losing new jobs includes human resources, lawyers, and financial experts. Restructuring can also be done at the executive level.

Several staff will be offered payments and others who are basically demoted through the restructuring process or dismissed in an effort to streamline their operations and cut company costs.

When Zuckerberg announced thousands of layoffs last year, he described the move as the most difficult change in Meta's history.

Fighting challenging economic conditions, Meta layoffs come at the same time as other technology companies that include Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, and Twitter.
