The Wall Street Journal stated that Meta Platforms Inc’s chief executive Mark Zuckerberg informed hundreds of executives on Tuesday that layoffs would begin on Wednesday morning.
Zuckerberg sounded despondent at Tuesday’s meeting and admitted he was responsible for the company’s errors and that his overconfidence in the company’s development led to overstaffing, according to the newspaper and others familiar with the incident.
He explicitly highlighted the recruiting and business teams as facing layoffs, according to the article, and an internal notification of the company’s layoff plans is planned around 6 a.m. Eastern time on Wednesday.
The exact employees who will be laid off will be notified throughout the morning, according to the article.
According to the WSJ, the director of human resources at Meta, Lori Goler, stated that employees who leave their positions will receive at least four months of income as severance.
Meta had around 87,000 employees as of the end of September.
The organization chose not to comment on the report.
