<p id="1">Meta Platforms (Facebook) is planning to begin layoffs that will affect thousands of workers from this week, Wall Street Journal reported, citing people with knowledge of the matter.</p>
<p id="2">The company has already told employees to cancel nonessential travel from this week, according to the report. Meta shares rose 3.8% to $94 in early trading on Monday. The stock has declined about 73% for the year through Friday.</p>
<p id="3">CEO <strong>Mark Zuckerberg </strong>in September outlined plans to reorganise teams and reduce headcount for the first time, following a sharp slowdown in growth at the parent of Facebook and Instagram. Zuckerberg said then that Meta will likely be smaller in 2023 than it was this year. The layoffs come as Meta struggles with growing losses and as it invests heavily in developing its metaverse business.</p>
<p id="4">&ldquo;Meta may seek at least $3-4 billion in opex reductions through layoffs and fixed-cost cuts to bring its view closer to the lower end of its expense guidance of $96-101 billion,&rdquo; Bloomberg Intelligence Analyst Mandeep Singh wrote in a note on Monday. The cuts will add to already mounting job losses in Silicon Valley. A spokesman for Meta declined to comment to the WSJ.</p>
