Meta plans more layoffs, may cut over 20% of workforce

Meta is preparing for another round of layoffs in the second half of the year, according to multiple sources, as the company continues to reshape its workforce around artificial intelligence-led efficiency. While the timing and scale of these cuts remain undecided, executives are expected to refine plans based on how AI capabilities evolve in the coming months.

A previous Reuters report indicated that the company could reduce 20% or more of its global workforce. However, Meta has declined to comment on the scope or timing of any upcoming layoffs. The move reflects CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s ongoing strategy to invest heavily in AI, with spending running into hundreds of billions of dollars to reconfigure operations and drive productivity gains.
