Meta details its May 20, 2026 layoff plans in a Monday memo from Chief People Officer Janelle Gale. The memo states the company will move 7,000 employees to AI workflow initiatives and eliminate layers of management for leaner AI-native structures. Layoffs and transfers together affect about 20% of Meta’s staff with additional cuts planned later in 2026. Employee backlash includes a petition against mouse-tracking software for AI training that has gathered over 1,000 signatures.
