New Delhi, Jan 11 : Meta has started the New Year with laying off some technical programme managers (TPMs) at Instagram and reports said that at least 60 such jobs are either being consolidated or eliminated. According to a post on Blind, an anonymous forum and community for verified tech employees, the company has given these employees time until the end of March to re-interview for product management roles or other jobs. A verified Meta professional noted in the thread that job cuts "will soon (be) expanded to other orgs for TPMs'. It means other technical programme managers at Meta may also find their roles consolidated or reorganised away. 'Meta layoffs: all TPMs in Instagram laid off today. Confirmed by my spouse who works there. She is not in the Instagram org and not affected. Product managers are not affected,' read another Blind post. According to Business Insider, at least 60 such employees have lost their jobs. TPMs are somewhere positioned between technical workers like engineers and product managers (PMs). A former Instagram employee posted to LinkedIn about "expected changes to TPM roles," saying that people are expected to "re-interview for PM roles" or product manager roles. Meta did not immediately comment on these layoffs. After planned mass layoffs last year, Meta Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg has not denied 'that more jobs would be eliminated in the future'. According to the report, he was still aiming to reduce the company's overall headcount to that of 2020 before it went on the mass hiring spree. In March last year, Zuckerberg announced the company would cut 10,000 jobs in the coming months, along with newly reorganised teams and management hierarchies. The fresh cuts came just four months after Meta laid off 11,000 employees, or 13 per cent of the company's workforce, in November 2022. /IANS
