The move will come after Meta cut around 13% of its workforce last year, roughly 11,000 jobs. 

The Journal report said the new job cuts are expected to reach the same proportion of those who remain. It said among the projects that will be cut are some wearable devices that were in the works at Reality Labs, Meta’s hardware and metaverse division.
