The latest round of cuts at Meta will affect Instagram as more layoffs hit the tech company Wednesday.
The layoffs will ripple throughout Meta, affecting Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, and Reality Labs — the latter handles the Quest and Horizon Worlds among other virtual and augmented reality efforts, according to an internal memoThese cuts are not unexpected. Meta said it would see another round of layoffs back in March. The Facebook and Instagram parent company already let a number of employees go back in November 2022 and March 2023. Yet another round of layoffs are expected to come in May.
In addition to the waves of cuts, Zuckerberg said in a March post that Meta will undergo a restructuring and will reduce hiring.An affected employee told the financial news outlet that, “Meta plans to cut business-facing roles, such as finance, legal and HR, beginning in May.” “Today I found out I was included in the Meta layoffs after being here just over a year,” a data scientist at Instagram wrote on LinkedIn. “I’m of course sad as I’ve spent nearly my entire professional career interning/working at Instagram, and I’ll dearly miss all my friends and co-workers. I’m very grateful for my time there and the opportunity to build a life here in New York as well.”
“Best of luck to my Meta colleagues also affected by the layoffs today,” another laid-off employee who worked on content design at Instagram posted on LinkedIn. “Recruiters: please snatch them up quick! They’re great people and I’d gladly work with any of them again.”
