Meta's Largest-Scale Layoffs in History: Notifications Sent at 4 AM, 7,000 Employees Reassigned to AI

Meta is executing its largest-ever restructuring, involving the elimination of approximately 8,000 positions (around 10% of its workforce) alongside a strategic shift toward artificial intelligence. Notifications for affected employees are being sent in three waves, timed for 4 AM local time across global offices this Wednesday. The reorganization is not purely a cost-cutting measure. Concurrently, over 7,000 employees are being redeployed to new AI-focused units, including the Applied AI Engineering (AAI) department, as part of a company-wide push to integrate "AI-native design principles." Management layers are being significantly reduced to create a flatter, faster-moving organizational structure. Internal tensions are rising amid the layoffs. Over a thousand employees have signed a petition protesting the company's installation of mouse-tracking software, reflecting strained morale. Meta has indicated that further job cuts beyond this initial 10% are possible. The moves underscore Meta's heavy bet on AI, with capital expenditures projected to reach $125-145 billion by 2026 to fund AI infrastructure.
