Meta’s next round of layoffs could happen next week.

Both The Wall Street Journal and Insider report that there will be more layoffs at Meta next week. Insider says that “a common expectation inside the company is for roughly 10 percent, or about 7,500 people, to be let go.”

These cuts would follow Meta’s November layoffs affecting about 13 percent of the company. CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in February that he wants 2023 to be the “year of efficiency.”
