About

Meta is laying off several hundred employees across multiple teams, including sales, recruiting, and Reality Labs, affecting fewer than 1,000 people. The company, which had nearly 79,000 employees at the end of 2025, is restructuring to align with goals and investing heavily in AI. This marks the second round of layoffs in 2026, following cuts in Reality Labs earlier in the year.
