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.
