BusinessMeta Cuts Around 700 Jobs Across Multiple Divisions
Meta announced layoffs of around 700 employees across Reality Labs, recruiting, sales and Facebook. It is the company third round of job cuts in 2026 as it shifts investment heavily toward artificial intelligence.
On March 25, 2026, Meta announced layoffs of approximately 700 employees. The laid-off employees come from Reality Labs, recruiting, sales, and Facebook departments. Reality Labs is Meta's division responsible for virtual reality products. In January of this year, Meta had already reduced Reality Labs headcount by approximately 1,000 employees. Meta's total estimated expenditures for this year are between $162 billion and $169 billion. The company plans to spend $600 billion by 2028 building data centers. Mark Zuckerberg said that artificial intelligence will have a very large impact on the company. Some laid-off employees can be reassigned to other positions within the company.
