Meta is undergoing significant workforce changes as it integrates AI tools into its operations, leading to substantial layoffs. Since 2022, Meta has laid off approximately 25,000 employees, with another 8,000 expected by late May 2026. Despite these reductions, Meta's apps like Instagram and Facebook continue to function normally. The company is redirecting savings from workforce cuts towards AI infrastructure, with capital expenditures projected to reach $115 billion to $135 billion in 2026. AI is reshaping performance evaluations at Meta, with tools like Checkpoint tracking over 200 data dimensions, including AI-generated code percentages. This shift has altered the traditional performance review process, emphasizing AI collaboration skills. Meta's new AI engineering department features a manager-to-engineer ratio of 1:50, significantly higher than the industry average. As AI tools handle more tasks, junior engineers face reduced workloads, while senior engineers are encouraged to integrate AI into their daily operations to maintain competitiveness.
