Meta will begin cutting about 8,000 jobs worldwide from 20 May, with US staff offered at least 16 weeks of base pay as severance as the tech giant pushes through a fresh round of restructuring built around artificial intelligence.
The company confirmed the details to employees in an internal memo, saying the Meta shake‑up will also include a hiring freeze on nearly 6,000 open roles as teams are slimmed down and reorganised.
