Meta lays off technical program managers at Instagram

1 of 1

New Delhi . Meta has started the new year with the layoffs of some technical program managers (TPM) at Instagram and reports say 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 technical employees, the company has given these employees until the end of March to re-interview for product management roles or other jobs.

A verified Meta professional noted that the job cuts “will soon be expanded to other organizations for TPM.”

This means that other technical program managers at META may also have their roles consolidated or reorganized.

Another blind post said, “Meta layoffs: All TPMs in Instagram were shut down today. This has been confirmed by my spouse who works there. He is not in the Instagram organization and is not affected. Product managers are not impressed.”

According to Business Insider, at least 60 such employees have lost their jobs.

TPMs lie somewhere between technical staff such as engineers and product managers (PMs).

A former Instagram employee posted on 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 the layoffs.

Following planned mass layoffs last year, Meta founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg has not ruled out that “more jobs will be lost in the future.”

According to the report, he was still aiming to reduce the company’s total headcount by 2020 before starting large-scale hiring.

In March last year, Zuckerberg had announced that the company would be cutting 10,000 jobs in the coming months with newly reorganized teams and management hierarchies.
