"It's made information flow through the company better, and it will help us make better products and attract and retain better people," he said. Speaking last month during earnings, Zuckerberg said he was "surprised" by the positive effect of the layoffs, which cut costs, as well as improved communication and progress on future products at Meta. Its stock price has trended upward ever since. Meta's first round of layoffs was seen largely as a concession to Wall Street. At the time, Zuckerberg still struck a defiant tone about investing in the metaverse. When Apple rolled out its iOS privacy changes, leading to a $10 billion hit on Meta's business, investors became increasingly frustrated with the massive cost associated with the metaverse. The pandemic drove even more growth, but an uptick in usage trends did not last. The idea of cutting costs is new for Meta, which has grown massively since its founding almost 20 years ago. The company took open management roles and changed them to non-management positions as managers prepared to be demoted. In recent weeks, talk inside the company had turned to "the flattening," referring to Zuckerberg's call for the removal of layers of management at Meta, and Facebook in particular, as Insider reported. Zuckerberg announced during fourth quarter earnings that 2023 would be Meta's " year of efficiency" and that he didn't want the company to be one of "managers managing managers." Even talk of building the Metaverse and the related cost was tempered for the first time since the company changed its name in 2021. Then the company continued to find ways to cut costs, pulling back on perks and benefits. Those reviews just wrapped up earlier this month. One of the early signs more cuts were on the way was an internal mandate for team managers and directors to label more workers in lower ranking categories during performance reviews, as Insider reported. While the breadth of the November layoffs came as a surprise to many Meta employees, this second round has been expected internally since at least January, as Insider first reported. Zuckerberg said the company will also close around 5,000 open job positions it has yet to fill and said Meta will lay off more members of its recruiting team - a sector of the company that was hit hard by the company's previous layoffs. We will support people in the same ways we have before and treat everyone with the gratitude they deserve." They've dedicated themselves to our mission and I'm personally grateful for all their efforts. "It will mean saying goodbye to talented and passionate colleagues who have been part of our success. "This will be tough and there's no way around that," Zuckerberg said in a post on Facebook on Tuesday. In November, 11,000 employees were laid off in a broad cull Zuckerberg referred to at the time as "a last resort." Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the cuts were necessary to improve the company's "financial performance in a difficult environment." The company formerly known as Facebook will now have about 65,000 employees, down from a peak last year of roughly 86,000. Meta is laying off another 10,000 workers in the second wave of cuts at the company in four months. Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders.
