Nearly 200 employees are being let go by Meta in Silicon Valley, continuing a trend of layoffs at the Bay Area tech titan.
Meta intends to cut 124 employment in Burlingame and 74 jobs in Sunnyvale, according to two documents submitted to California’s Employment Development Department this week. The layoffs are permanent and were supposed to begin in late May.
The cuts include teams in operations, sales, recruiting, and its Reality Labs section, adding to the company’s recent layoffs of over 700 employees.
Teams at Meta frequently reorganize or make adjustments to make sure they’re in the best position to accomplish their objectives, according to a statement from the firm. “Where possible, we are finding other opportunities for employees whose positions may be impacted.”
The business is increasing its investment in artificial intelligence at the same time. According to Meta, capital expenditures, which are mostly related to AI infrastructure, might reach up to $135 billion this year.
At the end of 2025, Meta, the company that owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, employed roughly 79,000 people. The corporation has not stated whether more layoffs are anticipated.
Meta revealed smaller rounds of layoffs in Burlingame, Sunnyvale, and Menlo Park earlier this year.
