Nueva York. Por primera vez desde la creación de Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, dueño de Meta, tuvo que anunciar este miércoles un despido masivo de empleados. En total 11.000 personas perderán su trabajo, lo que corresponde a alrededor del 13% de los efectivos de Meta, la casa matriz del gigante de las redes sociales.

“Hoy les comparto algunos de los cambios más difíciles que hemos hecho en la historia de Meta”, anunció Zuckerberg, director ejecutivo del grupo, en un mensaje dirigido a los empleados. “He decidido reducir el tamaño de nuestro equipo en aproximadamente 13% y separarme de 11.000 de nuestros talentosos empleados”, agregó.
