Meta, the parent company of Facebook, plans to proceed with its anticipated company-wide layoffs next week, while also accelerating the hiring of machine learning engineers, according to internal memos shared with staff and accessed by the news agency Reuters on Friday. In a separate memo on Friday, VP of Engineering for Monetization Peng Fan urged staff to support an expedited hiring process for machine learning engineers and other "business critical" engineering roles. Meanwhile, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg informed employees about the layoffs last month, explaining that he had "decided to raise the bar on performance management and move out low performers more quickly." Zuckerberg noted that while Meta "typically" addresses underperforming employees over the course of a year, the company would be making more "extensive" cuts of low performers during the performance cycle ending in February.
