The Verge was tipped off about the layoffs thanks to a post on Threads by Jane Manchun Wong and other former Meta employees. In their post, Wong states, "I’m still trying to process this but I’m informed that my role at Meta has been impacted."

Meta spokesperson Dave Arnold said some teams were making changes to align with the company's long-term strategic goals and location strategy.

The Verge report did not specify the exact number of job cuts but mentioned that they were small. Meta also did not comment on the numbers.
