Meta could reportedly conduct its largest workforce reduction since its “year of efficiency” restructuring — cutting 20% or more staff in 2026.
Sources told Reuters that the tech giant is looking to “offset costly artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure bets and prepare for greater efficiency brought about by AI-assisted workers.”
At this time, a specific date hasn’t been set for the job cuts, nor the magnitude finalized.
