Meta, the promoter of popular social media app Facebook, plans to carry out another round of layoffs next week, a report by Reuters said.
According to the report, an internal memo of the company said notices would go out to employees losing their jobs starting at 5 AM local time Monday for staffers in affected geographies including the US. The memo was authored by Meta’s Head of People Janelle Gale.
Employees in Germany, France, Italy and the Netherlands will be exempt from this round of layoffs owing to local regulations. Except these geographies, other countries across Europe, Asia and Africa will receive their notifications between February 11 and February 18, it said.
Unlike with previous company-wide layoffs, Meta was planning to keep its offices open on Monday and would not issue any updates providing further details on the decisions, Gale said in her post as per the report.
