Bloomberg reviewed the internal memo explaining the cuts, which was posted to Meta's internal Workplace forum Tuesday. In it, Zuckerberg confirmed that Meta was shifting its strategy to "move out low performers faster" so that Meta can hire new talent to fill those vacancies this year.

Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg said the cuts are necessary as the company builds ‘the most important technologies in the world.’

Meta has made numerous company-wide shifts in preparation for President-elect Donald Trump’s impending return to the White House next week.
