As Meta continues with its mass layoffs, international offices are also beginning to feel the pinch

Meta offices in Singapore are the latest to fall victim to layoffs. At least 50 employees are set to lose their jobs.

Those in the city-state who have been impacted found out on Thursday morning via e-mail.

One former employee posted about his experience on LinkedIn.

He says he was getting ready to head out to the office when he decided to check his e-mails and rotation schedule, as he would, any other day.

He adds, “that’s when I saw the dreaded e-mail and the biggest fear of my career come true. I’m one of those affected by the Meta layoffs”.

The individual was a a business integrity specialist at the firm.

Meta’s wide-ranging cuts are hitting a number of departments and roles, with over half of those impacted working in recruitment.

The rest are spread across operations, sales and engineering.

The layoffs will see a total of 11,000 jobs cut, which equates to about 13 per cent of the the firm’s 87,000 person global workforce.

U.S. stocks rose Monday, driven by Oracle gains, as investors overlooked recent silver and bitcoin losses ahead of earnings week.

U.S. equities climbed on Monday as Wall Street kicked off a new month of trading. Investors looked past recent losses in silver and bitcoin, with optimism returning to major indices. The S&P 500 rose 0.7%, led by gains in Oracle shares following the company’s announcement to raise up to £50 billion for cloud capacity.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average surged 501 points, while the Nasdaq Composite increased 0.9%. Analysts note that the broader market is showing resilience despite mixed signals from tech and commodities.

More than 100 S&P 500 companies are expected to report earnings this week. Strong growth is predicted, even as some high-profile sell-offs continue to make headlines.
