Meta announced layoffs affecting staff from WhatsApp, Instagram, and Reality Labs as it refocuses resources to align with its strategic objectives. A spokesperson did not specify how many employees are impacted. The company is redistributing teams geographically and reassigning roles and will work to find new opportunities for those whose positions were eliminated. Earlier this year, Meta reduced jobs in its Reality Labs division after cutting 11,000 positions in 2022. Another 10,000 jobs were slashed last year. CEO Mark Zuckerberg had declared 2023 a "year of efficiency." (This story was generated by Newser's AI chatbot. Source: the AP)
