Facebook app owner Meta Platforms has disclosed plans to chop more than 1,500 jobs in the Bay Area, layoffs that suggest waves of tech cutbacks in the region have yet to relent.
The most recent Meta Platform layoffs are slated to affect the tech company’s workers in Menlo Park, Sunnyvale, Burlingame, San Francisco and Fremont, according to WARN notices filed on April 24 with the state Employment Development Department (EDD). In March, the company said it would chop 10,000 jobs, on top of the 11,000 layoffs Meta revealed late in 2022. The new WARN notices revealed for the first time how many Meta Platforms jobs would be lost in the Bay Area and in which cities.
