Meta has reorganized some major companies and eliminated some roles

  • Meta reorganized some of its key units and eliminated roles at Instagram, Reality Labs and WhatsApp.
  • A spokesperson for Meta said the company was also moving some teams to different locations.
  • Meta has laid off thousands of employees as part of CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s push for efficiency.

Meta said on Wednesday it has reorganized some of its largest businesses, eliminating some roles at units including Instagram, Reality Labs and WhatsApp.

It is unclear how many roles are involved.

A spokesperson said in a statement that Meta was looking for jobs for staff whose roles have been eliminated.

“Today, a few teams at Meta are making changes to ensure resources are aligned with their long-term strategic objectives and location strategy,” the spokesperson said. “This includes moving some teams to different locations, and moving some employees to different roles.”

Jane Manchun Wong, a former Meta employee, said in a social media post earlier on Wednesday that her role had been affected. According to her LinkedIn, Wong was a security engineer at the company.

“I’m still trying to process this, but my role at Meta has been affected. Thank you everyone for my wild journey at Meta,” she said.

Wong did not respond to a request for comment from BI.

Meta has experienced several rounds of layoffs in recent years. CEO Mark Zuckerberg previously said the company’s drive for “efficiency” would be permanent.

As of March, Meta had cut 22% of its workforce since the company’s first mass layoffs in late 2022, BI previously reported.

The company’s ranks have grown in recent years, from about 45,000 at the end of 2019 to about 70,000 as of June 30, according to the filings.
