According to media reports, employees were informed about the layoffs through an internal memo on Friday. Janelle Gale, Meta’s Vice President of Human Resources, posted a memo on the company’s internal workplace forum, stating that employees impacted by the layoffs will receive an email notification on Monday morning.

The other employees will be informed about the layoff on Monday at 6;30 PM IST. Within an hour, employees will not be able to use the company's system. The email will also include details of severance packages. Gale wrote, 'For teams losing a teammate or manager on Monday, I understand it can be a tough day.' He acknowledged the disruption and said that offices will remain open, but employees also has the option to opt for remote work.

The CEO informed employees about job cuts Last month, CEO Mark Zuckerberg informed employees about upcoming job cuts at Meta. He stated that the company is raising performance standards and will expedite the removal of underperforming employees.

Amazon cut 1,000 jobs early this year Meta is not the only company when it comes to layoffs. Amazon recently laid off dozens of employees and Salesforce cut about 1,000 jobs earlier this year.Original Article
