SiliconRepublic.com has asked Meta about the extent of layoffs in Ireland.
Meta is reportedly reassigning 7,000 workers to new, more AI-aligned roles, just ahead of the sweeping layoffs expected at the company tomorrow (20 May).
According to a memo, first reported by Reuters, Meta’s human resources head Janelle Gale said that the new corporate structure will be “flatter”, with “smaller teams”.
“As org leaders worked on the changes, many of them incorporated AI-native design principles into their new org structures,” she wrote.
“We’re now at the stage where many orgs can operate with a flatter structure with smaller teams of pods/cohorts that can move faster and with more ownership.”
