随着Meta在资源和人员编制方面推行新的“效率”文化,本周,该公司裁员数十人。

三位知情人士对《财富》杂志表示,约有100人受到Meta内部最近一轮重组和相关资源重新配置的影响。今年,Meta频频进行这种调整和相关团队增量裁员,因为其CEO马克·扎克伯格坚持要兑现自己的誓言,将2023年的“效率之年”变成未来公司经营的“永久化”策略。今年早些时候,在其他团队重组和撤销某些职位的过程中,Instagram和Messenger部门的多位员工被裁员。

本周的裁员是今年Meta进行的至少第三次增量裁员。据知情人士透露,这一次受影响的员工主要来自Instagram、Facebook和Reality Labs。许多受影响的员工是软件工程师,他们的职位被取消,但也有一些货币化部门的岗位被裁撤。新闻网站The Verge首先报道了Meta裁员的消息,但没有公布具体细节。

大多数受影响员工提前几周收到通知,被告知他们的岗位要么被取消,要么将被调任到新的团队或地点,并且他们可以在内部申请对他们开放的其他岗位。有些人在内部找到了工作。但有些人没有成功。据知情人士透露,还有人提前接受了四个月离职补偿金,因此没有经历这个过程。

此次裁员与Meta上周的纪律处分无关。上周,Meta洛杉矶办事处有约20人因GrubHub积分使用不当被解雇。据《金融时报》首先报道,这些积分专门提供给在办公室办公的员工支付餐费,但这些被解雇者被曝出长达数月使用这些积分购买私人物品或居家订餐。

截至最近公布业绩的季度末,Meta共有70,799名全职员工,在疫情之后的2022年和2023年,公司已裁员数万人。虽然Meta在2024年没有进行大规模裁员,但一位知情人士告诉《财富》杂志,感觉公司今年在“不断”进行团队重组,并表示Reality Labs似乎“每隔几个月”就会进行一次重组。

另外一位知情人士表示,虽然这种变化一直是Meta运营的一部分,但公司最近加大推动人工智能项目的力度,意味着越来越多的资源正在被分配给人工智能和基础设施团队。这位知情人士称,Meta还在“重新规划”公司的岗位,确定哪些团队的大部分成员需要现场办公,因为每周三天现场办公规定已经导致一些岗位被调动或取消。

Meta发言人对《财富》杂志表示:“Meta内部多个团队经过调整,以确保根据他们的长期战略目标和定位战略分配资源。其中包括将部分团队搬迁到不同地点,将部分员工调任到其他岗位。在岗位被取消的情况下,我们会努力为受影响的员工找到其他机会。”

然而,两位知情人士对《财富》杂志透露,并非所有被裁撤的员工都收到了这样的通知。有些人本周“意外地”收到邮件,告知他们由于岗位被取消,本周五将是他们的最后一个工作日。有一位员工表示:“公司没有对所有人一视同仁。”

据两位知情人士透露,有多位被裁员工入职只有一年或者不足一年。黄文津因为在社交媒体平台发布新功能前进行逆向工程而闻名。她去年加入Meta,负责最新平台Threads的工作。然而,受到本轮裁员的影响,她今年被调任到Instagram旗下的一个团队。她发帖称,自己因为Threads裁员受到影响。然而,Threads团队没有任何成员被裁。

尽管最近一轮裁员属于增量裁员,但Meta员工预计今年晚些时候或者明年年初还会有更多裁员。知情人士称,虽然公司正在增加招聘,但人员编制依旧“非常紧张”,而且绩效评估也变得比以往更严格。(财富中文网)

Scores of Meta employees have been laid off this week, as the company embraces a new corporate culture of “efficiency” around resources and headcount.

Around 100 people were impacted by the latest round of reorganizations and a related reallocation of some resources inside Meta, three people with knowledge of the company told Fortune. Such changes and related incremental cuts to teams have been frequent at Meta this year, as CEO Mark Zuckerberg sticks to his vow that 2023’s “year of efficiency” would become a “permanent” part of how his company operates going forward. A handful of workers at Instagram and Messenger were cut earlier this year amid other team reorganizations and the elimination of certain job titles.

This week’s cuts mark at least the third time this year that incremental layoffs occurred at Meta. This time, it mostly impacted people working in Instagram, Facebook, and Reality Labs, according to the people familiar. Many of those affected were software engineers whose specific roles were eliminated, but some jobs in monetization were also cut. The Verge first reported that layoffs occurred at Meta, although none of the specifics have been reported.

Most of the people impacted received several weeks of advance notice that their roles were being either eliminated or moved to a new team or location, and were allowed to apply internally for other jobs made available to them. Some were successful. Some were not. Others accepted four months of severance in advance instead of going through that process, according to the people familiar.

The layoffs are separate from a disciplinary action Meta carried out last week that saw about 20 people in its Los Angeles office let go for improper use of GrubHub credits. The credits were given specifically for workers to buy meals while working at the office, but some were found to have used the credits for personal items or home delivery over the course of several months, as first reported by the FT.

Meta, which had 70,799 full-time employees at the end of its most recently reported quarter, cut tens of thousands of employees over the course of 2022 and 2023 in the wake of the pandemic. While the company has not had such mass layoffs in 2024, team-specific reorganizations this year have felt “constant,” one person told Fortune, noting that Reality Labs seems to go through a re-org “every few months.”

Another person said that while such changes have long been a part of Meta’s operation, a new push toward work on AI projects means more and more resources are being directed to AI and infrastructure teams. The company is also going through a process of “remapping” roles, deciding where the bulk of specific teams will be physically located given a three-day in-office work mandate that has caused some jobs to be moved or eliminated, the person said.

“A few teams at Meta are making changes to ensure resources are aligned with their long-term strategic goals and location strategy,” a Meta spokesperson told Fortune. “This includes moving some teams to different locations, and moving some employees to different roles. In situations like this when a role is eliminated, we work hard to find other opportunities for impacted employees.”

However, not all of the people laid off were given such notice, two sources told Fortune. Several people were “surprised” by emails that hit their inboxes this week explaining that their last day of work would be this Friday because their role had been eliminated. “Everyone was not treated the same in this,” one of the people said.

Several laid-off employees were in their jobs for one year or less, according to two of the sources. Jane Manchu Wong, who gained online notoriety for reverse-engineering incoming features for social media platforms before they were announced, joined Meta last year to work on its newest platform, Threads. However, she moved this year to a team within Instagram that was impacted by this round of layoffs. Wong posted that she was impacted by the cuts on Threads. However, no one working on the Threads team was laid off.

Despite the incremental nature of this recent round of layoffs, workers within Meta are expecting more such cuts, either later this year or early next year. Although the company is hiring more, headcount is being kept “very tight,” the person said, and performance reviews are tougher than ever.
