Meta is reducing its workforce by several hundred individuals across various teams, including sales, recruitment, and the Reality Labs sector, as reported by The Information and Bloomberg.

The reductions will affect staff in the U.S. and various global markets. Some affected employees will be presented with alternative positions or relocation options to stay with the organization, according to Bloomberg.

“Departments across Meta routinely undergo restructuring or changes to position themselves optimally for achieving their objectives,” stated a Meta representative in an email to TechCrunch. “When feasible, we are locating other opportunities for employees whose roles might be affected.”

The reductions will involve fewer than 1,000 employees. At the close of 2025, Meta had almost 79,000 employees.

These layoffs occur as Meta invests billions into AI. The company anticipates reaching an all-time high in capital expenditures this year, estimated between $115 billion and $135 billion.

This marks the second instance in 2026 in which Meta has downsized its workforce. In January, Meta let go of 10% of its personnel in the Reality Labs sector. The New York Times noted that these cuts impacted approximately 1,000 employees out of a total of around 15,000 in Reality Labs.
