In Brief Posted: 10:49 AM PDT · March 25, 2026 Aisha Malik Meta is cutting several hundred jobs Meta is laying off several hundred employees across multiple teams, including sales, recruiting, and the Reality Labs division, as reported by The Information and Bloomberg . The cuts will impact employees in the U.S. and other international markets. Some of those employees will be offered other jobs or the opportunity to relocate to remain with the company, Bloomberg reported. “Teams across Meta regularly restructure or implement changes to ensure they’re in the best position to achieve their goals,” a Meta spokesperson said in an email to TechCrunch. “Where possible, we are finding other opportunities for employees whose positions may be impacted.” The cuts will affect fewer than 1,000 employees. Meta employed nearly 79,000 people at the end of 2025. The layoffs come as Meta invests billions of dollars into AI. The company expects to reach a record level of capital expenditures this year, between $115 billion and $135 billion. The layoffs mark the second time Meta has trimmed its workforce in 2026. In January, Meta laid off 10% of its staff in the Reality Labs division. The New York Times reported that the cuts affected roughly 1,000 employees, out of a total workforce of about 15,000 in Reality Labs.
