Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, has announced it will be cutting a further 10,000 jobs and leaving 5,000 vacant roles unfilled.
The news comes four months after CEO Mark Zuckerberg confirmed that it was preparing to cut 11,000 jobs, impacting 13% of its global workforce.
In a statement posted on his Facebook page and Meta’s news blog, Zuckerberg said that members of the company’s recruitment teams will know by March 15 whether they’ve been affected, with restructurings and layoffs within Meta’s tech groups expected in April, and then its business groups in late May.
