Mark Zuckerberg

A Meta employee who relocated from India to Canada for a job with the tech giant was laid off just two days after joining

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said, "There is no good way to do a layoff, but we hope to get all the relevant information to you as quickly as possible and then do whatever we can to support you through this."

This is the first major round of layoffs at Meta, and is being considered as the most drastic one since Facebook began in 2004.

Mark Zuckerberg appeared downcast in Tuesday's meeting and said he was accountable for the company's missteps and his overoptimism about growth had led to overstaffing, the report added, citing people familiar with the matter.

Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg has said he expects the metaverse investments to take about a decade to bear fruit.

CEO Mark Zuckerberg has said the company will focus its investments on a small number of high-priority growth areas in 2023

The metaverse project is still in its infancy: While Facebook has about 3 billion active users, Horizon Worlds, the VR platform that serves as the foundation of metaverse experience, has just 200,000, according to internal documents revealed by the Wall Street Journal.

Investors rushed to dump Meta Platforms Inc's stock after hours, pushing it down 20% and wiping $67 billion off its market value after the company posted its fourth straight decline in quarterly profit.

"WhatsApp is far more private and secure than iMessage, with end-to-end encryption that works across both iPhones and Android," Mark Zuckerberg noted in a Facebook post.

Mark Zuckerberg said that that Apple could hurt other VR platforms if it has as much control over its headset as over iPhone and the Mac.

Meta has spent billions of dollars and assigned thousands to make Mark Zuckerberg’s dream feasible, but its metaverse efforts have had a rocky start. Some employees complain about frequent strategy shifts tied to Zuckerberg’s whims rather than a cohesive plan

In what would be the first major budget cut since the founding of Facebook in 2004, Zuckerberg said the company will freeze hiring and restructure some teams to trim expenses and realign priorities. Meta will likely be smaller in 2023 than it was this year, he said.

It was less than two years ago when Zuckerberg, 38, was worth $106 billion and among an elite group of global billionaires, with only Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates commanding bigger fortunes.

"It took me nine years to figure out that I wanted to become an entrepreneur and to be comfortable enough to make that jump. But people who do that right out of college, hats off to them," Ashneer Grover said.

While this is a rare instance of watching the Meta CEO try his hands at a combat sport, it is becoming increasingly common for centri-billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and even the richest person in the world, Elon Musk, take "fitness" seriously.

Mark Zuckerberg had posted the image mentioned in Grimes's tweet last week. But, the response was not what they had expected. Later, he shared a different version of the avatar.

Mark Zuckerberg revealed that he starts his day by checking his phone every morning and finds a “million messages” that are “usually not good.”
