Facebook owner Meta Platforms plans to carry out its expected company-wide layoffs next week while pushing ahead with the expedited hiring of machine learning engineers, it told staffers in internal memos seen by Reuters on Friday.

Unlike previous company-wide layoffs, Meta plans to keep its offices open on Monday and will not provide further updates on the decisions, as mentioned by Gale in her post

Janelle Gale, Meta's Head of People, said notifications will be sent to employees losing their jobs from 5:00am local time on Monday in most countries, including the US. Notably, the layoff plan will not impact workers in Germany, France, Italy, and the Netherlands owing to local regulations.

Notices will go out to employees losing their jobs starting at 5 a.m. local time Monday in most countries, including in the US, according to one of the posts, authored by Meta's Head of People Janelle Gale.

Meta sent employees an internal memo on Friday outlining what to expect as the tech giant implements its latest round of layoffs affecting 5% of its 72,000-person workforce, around 3,000 employees. A memo obtained by Business Insider and posted to Meta's internal Workplace forum by Vice President of Human Resources Janelle Gale said that employees affected by the performance-based cuts will be notified Monday morning through an email sent to their work and personal email addresses.
