Meta has announced its largest-ever workforce restructuring, cutting approximately 8,000 jobs, or 10% of its workforce, as part of a strategic shift towards artificial intelligence. The layoffs, scheduled for May 20, will be executed globally at 4:00 a.m. local time in each region. Alongside the job cuts, Meta is reallocating over 7,000 employees to new AI-focused teams, including Applied AI Engineering and Central Analytics, as part of a broader organizational transformation. The restructuring aims to flatten Meta's organizational structure by reducing management layers, enabling faster decision-making and increased ownership within smaller teams. Despite the layoffs, Meta remains committed to its AI strategy, with projected capital expenditures of $125 billion to $145 billion by 2026. Internal tensions have risen, with over a thousand employees protesting the installation of mouse-tracking software, reflecting strained labor relations amid the restructuring.
