Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, is gearing up for another round of layoffs that are expected to affect thousands of employees.
Instagram head Adam Mosseri says the social media platform is facing "urgency" to make Reels work after its parent company Meta had $80 billion wiped off its market value last month.
Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, continued its free fall in 2022. The company had more than $65 billion wiped off its market value after it reported another quarter of declining revenues.
Meta is currently experiencing a combination of financial difficulties that, in its long history, it has never faced. Its Reality Labs division continues to lose billions of dollars at the same time Facebook reported its first-ever decline in revenue.
Following massive losses in its Reality Labs division, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has reportedly told employees that the company is experiencing "one of the worst downturns [it has seen] in recent history."
Meta appears to be pulling back on its consumer camera products, both those on shelves and in development, as its Reality Labs division continues to lose billions of dollars.
