Meta has laid off several hundred employees across multiple teams, including sales, recruiting, and its Reality Labs division, according to reports by The Information and Bloomberg.
The layoffs are affecting employees in the United States as well as in international markets.
Some impacted employees may be offered alternative roles within the company or relocation options to continue their employment.
A Meta spokesperson said the company regularly restructures teams to stay aligned with its goals.
“Where possible, we are finding other opportunities for employees whose roles may be impacted,” the spokesperson said.
Overall, the job cuts are expected to affect fewer than 1,000 employees. Meta had nearly 79,000 employees at the end of 2025.
The layoffs come at a time when Meta is investing heavily in artificial intelligence.
The company is expected to spend between $115 billion and $135 billion this year, marking a record level of capital expenditure.
This is the second round of layoffs at Meta in 2026. Earlier in January, the company cut around 10% of its Reality Labs workforce.
According to The New York Times, that move affected roughly 1,000 employees out of a total of about 15,000 in the division.
