Meta Platforms employees are facing growing anxiety as the company prepares for another round of layoffs. Reports say nearly 10% of Meta’s workforce, or around 8,000 employees, could lose their jobs next week. The cuts are part of the company’s efforts to improve efficiency and invest more in artificial intelligence. Workers say morale has dropped sharply and many feel emotionally exhausted. Some fear the AI systems they are helping build could eventually replace them. The uncertainty is also affecting personal lives, with employees delaying major decisions such as moving, buying homes, and starting families while they wait to learn whether they will keep their jobs.
