Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has announced that it would lay off 11,000 employees out of about 87,000. In a statement, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the layoffs and gave his reasons for this move.
According to Zuckerberg, he believed outlooks that the rise of e-commerce caused by the COVID-19 pandemic was permanent acceleration that would continue after the lockdowns ended. As a result, Meta made significant investments into this sector, but the outlook eventually proved to be incorrect.
Besides the biggest job cuts in Meta's history, Zuckerberg has also announced other cost-cutting measures, such as reducing the company's real estate footprint and cutting back on some employee benefits and perks.
In October, Meta's market cap plunged by more than $80 billion after the company reported net income of $4.4 billion in the third quarter, a 52% decline compared to the same period last year.
The company suffered the worst single-day drop in US history on February 3, with $230 billion of its value being eliminated. The crash was caused by dismal Q4 2021 results as the company missed its earnings target.
