Meta is moving 7,000 employees into roles focused on artificial intelligence and consolidating them into four new organizations, according to a source familiar with the matter. The shift is part of a broader reorganization that is expected to be announced Wednesday, which will include layoffs affecting 10% of the company.
The changes, which Meta first detailed in an internal memo in April, will include laying off about 8,000 employees and not filling approximately 6,000 open positions. Meta previously confirmed the April memo’s authenticity to NBC News.
“We’re doing this as part of our continued effort to run the company more efficiently and to allow us to offset the other investments we’re making,” Janelle Gale, now Meta’s head of people, said in the April memo to employees. “This is not an easy tradeoff and it will mean letting go of people who have made meaningful contributions to Meta during their time here.”
