Thousands of employees will be laid off at Facebook’s parent company Meta – Wall Street wrote on Sunday, citing informed sources. The Meta Group forecast twice a quarter of Christmas in October. The disappointing forecast comes as Meta faces a slowdown in global economic growth, competition from other companies, and a loss of more than half a trillion dollars.
