The harsh push comes as the social media behemoth attempts to cut costs by 10%. A spokesperson for Meta confirmed to WSJ that reports of the attempt to move around employees are accurate.

“We’ve been public about the need for our teams to shift to meet … challenges,” Tracy Clayton, spokesperson for Meta platforms, told the outlet.

Entrepreneur has reached out to Meta for additional comment.

In July, Meta reported concerning earnings as shares in the company had lost about 50% of their value by the end of Q2 2022. The company also predicted a higher-than-expected revenue loss and a grim outlook for Q3.

“This is a period that demands more intensity, and I expect us to get more done with fewer resources,” CEO Mark Zuckerberg said about restructuring and cuts coming to the company at the end of Q2. “I think we’ll come through this period as a stronger and more disciplined company.”

Meta has not disclosed the exact number of layoffs.

“Any company that wants to have a lasting impact must practice disciplined prioritization and work with a high level of intensity to reach goals,” a Meta spokesperson told Insider. “The reports about these efforts are consistent with this focus and what we’ve already shared publicly about our operating style.”

Meta was down over 2% from market open on Friday morning.
