Tech companies are at the core of this change, and over 94,000 employees working in the US tech companies have been laid off so far in 2023 (via Crunchbase). Meta axed 11,000 jobs in November last year, and 10,000 more jobs will be removed soon. The company\u2019s overall headcount will reduce to around 66,000 after these layoffs.<br \/>\nMeta has frozen its hiring to restructure the efforts and different departments. Zuckerberg says the process might take until the end of 2023 for the company\u2019s headquarters in the US. After passing this transition period, Meta might begin hiring new employees again. The company\u2019s tech departments will go through restructuring in late April, and business teams in late May.<br \/>\nMeta to lay off 10,000 workers and closes 5,000 job opportunities<br \/>\nAccording to Zuckerberg\u2019s letter, Meta will \u201cannounce restructuring plans focused on flattening our orgs.\u201d In simple terms, this statement means the company will reduce the number of departments and managers to reduce bureaucracy. It also suggests that Meta wants to focus on projects that are high priority. The CEO confirmed that Meta \u201cwill ask many managers to become individual contributors.\u201d<br \/>\nEmployees working at the Reality Labs hardware and metaverse division will reportedly get affected. We recently reported that Meta Quest Headsets are up to 33% off due to low sales, and the company has lost $13.7 billion on the Reality Labs unit. The company needs cash to stay operational, and that may be why it launched Twitter-like Meta Verified. A verified badge by Meta costs $11.99 monthly on the web and $14.99 on mobile apps.<br \/>\nZuckerberg also asserted that 2023 would be the \u201cyear of efficiency\u201d for Meta. He said the company is now working \u201cfaster\u201d due to last year\u2019s layoffs. \u201cA leaner org will execute its highest priorities faster. People will be more productive, and their work will be more fun and fulfilling.\u201d Zuckerberg said.<br \/>\nThe post Meta to lay off another 10,000 employees appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Meta-logo-image-103.jpg\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has just confirmed that the company will lay off 10,000 employees, and 5,000 open positions for [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":11882,"comment_status":"false","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11881","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bez-kategorii"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11881","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/26"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11881"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11881\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11883,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11881\/revisions\/11883"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11882"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11881"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11881"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11881"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
