A Reuters article suggests that Meta may be on the verge of implementing one of the biggest staff cuts in its past. Sources cited by the news service reveal that the technology firm intends to reduce its employee base by roughly 20 percent. The piece notes that specifics such as the timing and precise scale remain undecided.
The report from Reuters indicates that Meta's highest-ranking officials have instructed additional high-level managers to begin outlining strategies for downsizing. Meta's most recent earnings disclosure showed a total of 78,865 workers on payroll as of December 31, 2025, alongside quarterly earnings approaching $60 billion in the final period and annual income surpassing $200 billion. When contacted by Reuters, a company representative described the coverage as involving unconfirmed ideas on potential strategies.
