Meta targets May 20 for first wave of layoffs
The Sunday Guardian
|April 19, 2026
Meta intends to conduct a first wave of sweeping layoffs planned for this year on May 20, with more coming later, three sources familiar with the plans told press.
The Facebook and Instagram owner will lay off about 10% of its global workforce, or close to 8,000 employees, in that initial round, one of the sources said.
The company is planning further layoffs in the second half of the year, the three sources said, although details of those cuts, including date and size, were not yet settled. Executives may adjust their plans as they observe developments in artificial intelligence capabilities, the sources added.
Press reported last month that the company was planning to lay off 20% or more of its global workforce.
Meta declined to comment on the timing or scope of planned cuts.
