The technology giant revealed it is not considering a new wave of workforce cuts tied to employee performance, hitting back at reports that such reductions might resume.

A Meta spokesperson told Business Insider that recent changes were limited in scope and not part of any broader initiative.

“These are individual cases not related to any company wide initiatives,” the spokesperson said, adding: “For example we are not doing any 5% low performers like we did last year.”

This comes as Meta reportedly cut around 10% of the headcount in its Reality Labs division, affecting over 1,000 employees. Last year, Meta reduced roughly 5% of its workforce, focusing on employees at the bottom of performance reviews.

However, Meta joins other technology giants that have recently reduced their workforce, including:

• Salesforce, which quietly eliminated around 1,000 positions this month
• Telstra, which cut 200 roles at Telstra as the telecoms giant expands its use of AI and transfers some positions to India.
• Amazon, which announced another round of layoffs as part of its plan to cut 30,000 corporate jobs. 
• T-Mobile, which joined tech layoff wave with nearly 400 job cuts
• Ericsson, which reportedly proposed 1,600 job cuts in Sweden
