Zuckerberg Fires 8,000 Meta Employees and Launches Total Surveillance
Business
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has announced a radical ten percent staff reduction to aggressively pivot the corporation’s focus toward artificial intelligence. The mass layoffs of IT professionals are unfolding alongside internal scandals, office protests, and the deployment of an unprecedented surveillance system to monitor the remaining workforce.
Mark Zuckerberg has laid off approximately 8,000 Meta employees (10% of the workforce), as reported by The New York Times and Bloomberg. An additional 7,000 workers will be reassigned to AI divisions. The cuts, which hardest hit engineering and product teams, follow a monumental investment of over $100 billion into AI infrastructure.
Termination notices were dispatched at 4 AM, and staff were instructed to work from home. Protests erupted in company offices, with flyers appearing on walls denouncing the new strategy and a total surveillance regime—a system that captures screenshots, tracks mouse movements, and logs keystrokes to train AI. Laid-off workers will receive at least 16 weeks of base severance pay and healthcare coverage. Zuckerberg pledged to improve internal communication and stated that no further mass layoffs are anticipated this year.
