Meta計劃在英國裁員10%:金色財經報道，Meta計劃裁減逾10%的英國員工，并放棄Instagram在倫敦的新中心。一份內部文件顯示，Meta將至少裁撤687個職位，主要在倫敦，而在英國總計約5000名員工中，還有更多人未來面臨裁員的風險。此前，Meta曾表示，計劃在近幾個月裁減逾2萬個工作崗位。該公司首席執行官扎克伯格稱，此舉將提高Meta運行的效率。截至2022年底，該公司在全球擁有約8.6萬名員工。此次人事變動，加之通脹加劇和其他宏觀經濟問題，包括蘋果隱私規則的顛覆性變化，促使投資者近幾個月呼吁這家市值5510億美元的社交媒體公司需要控制其財務狀況。[2023/4/21 14:17:17]
