News reports say that social media company Meta Platforms is
planning to cut 5% of total staff this year by terminating staff
based on performance and hiring new workers to replace them.
Bloomberg News reported that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg made the
announcement in an internal note to employees, saying he wants
to “raise the bar on performance management and move out
low-performers faster.”
Meta employs about 72,000 people, according to recent filings,
so cutting 5% of staff would amount to 3,600 people, Bloomberg
said Tuesday. The Menlo Park, California-based company owns
Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Threads.
The company declined to comment Wednesday but said that
Bloomberg's reporting was accurate.
Workers in the U.S. who will be affected will be notified on
Feb. 10, while those in other countries will be informed later,
Bloomberg said.
