Meta启动大规模内部重组:7000员工转岗AI部门,同步裁员8000人

据路透社及《纽约时报》报道,美国科技巨头Meta(脸书母公司)正进行新一轮重大组织调整。公司人力资源负责人詹妮尔·盖尔在内部备忘录中宣布,将把7000名员工调往四个新成立的AI工具及应用开发部门,这些部门将采用“AI原生设计架构”,管理层级大幅缩减。盖尔称此举“将提升公司产出效率,并使工作更具价值”。

与此同时,Meta预计于本周三(5月20日)启动新一轮裁员,波及约8000名员工,相当于现有员工总数(约7.8万人)的近10%。被裁员工将获得16周遣散费,并根据工龄额外获得每年2周的补偿。路透社透露,今年晚些时候Meta可能进一步裁员。

值得关注的是,此次调整是Meta战略重心从“元宇宙”转向人工智能的延续。公司此前已关闭6000个空缺岗位,并计划在本十年内建设“数十吉瓦”级算力的数据中心。CEO扎克伯格亲自从外部“挖角”AI专家组建“超智能”团队,甚至邀请候选人在家中面谈。据《纽约时报》报道,扎克伯格向投资者表示,公司今年计划投入1150亿至1350亿美元,其中大部分将用于AI研发。

当前,硅谷科技企业正密集通过裁员降本、将资金转入AI赛道。Meta此次“裁旧招新”的举措,被业界视为传统互联网巨头向AI时代全面转型的又一标志性动作。

据报道,Meta正将7,000名员工调岗至人工智能领域
该公司预计本周还将裁员8,000人。
Meta不仅计划在周三因人工智能裁员数千人,还将把数千名员工调至公司内部的新岗位。据路透社和《纽约时报》报道,Meta人力资源主管珍妮尔·盖尔已通知员工,其中7,000人将转入四个专注于开发新AI工具和应用程序的新部门。据报道,盖尔在内部备忘录中写道,此次重组"将提高(公司)效率,让工作更有价值"。
据称,盖尔在备忘录中表示,新部门将采用"AI原生设计架构",管理层级将大幅精简。她要求员工在5月20日(周三)居家办公,等待Meta发送关于可能新职位的邮件,不过部分员工已完成调岗。公司同日也将向部分被裁员工发送通知。
回顾此前,Meta于4月底告知员工将裁减8,000个岗位,并取消6,000个待招职位。据报道,盖尔当时在备忘录中称,这是"Meta持续提升运营效率举措的一部分",可为其其他投资腾出空间。尽管未详述,但盖尔极可能指的是Meta对人工智能的押注。科技行业企业近期持续裁员,将更多资金投入AI领域。
在放弃未能如预期席卷全球的元宇宙计划后,Meta全力押注AI。该公司计划在十年内建设"数十吉瓦"容量的数据中心,并组建了由AI专家构成的"超级智能"团队,首席执行官马克·扎克伯格甚至亲自甄选潜在人才并邀请其至家中会面。Meta正在开发AI代理,并将AI聊天机器人嵌入多款产品中。《纽约时报》指出,扎克伯格向投资者透露,公司今年计划投入1150亿至1350亿美元,主要用于AI研发。
截至2025年底,Meta员工总数约7.8万人。此次裁减8,000人将淘汰公司近10%的现有岗位。路透社称Meta今年晚些时候还将进一步裁员。被裁员工将获得16周遣散费,每任职满一年额外增加两周补偿。

Meta is reportedly 'reassigning' 7,000 employees to AI-focused roles
The company is also expected to lay off 8,000 workers this week.
Meta is not only laying off thousands of workers on Wednesday due to artificial intelligence, it's also moving thousands to new roles within the company. According to Reuters and The New York Times, Meta HR head Janelle Gale has notified employees that 7,000 of them will be moved to four new organizations focused on building new AI tools and apps. Gale reportedly wrote in the internal memo seen by the publications that the restructuring "will make [the company] more productive and make the work more rewarding."
The new organizations will use "AI native design structures" and will not have as many layers of management per employee, Gale reportedly wrote. She told employees to work from home on Wednesday, May 20, and to wait for Meta's email about their possible new roles, though some of the workers had already been transferred. The company will also be sending out notifications to some of the people that will be laid off that day.
If you'll recall, Meta told employees in late April that it's cutting 8,000 jobs and will also be closing 6,000 open jobs. Gale reportedly told them in a memo at the time that it was "part of [Meta's] continued effort to run the company more efficiently" and will allow it to offset its other investments. While she didn't elaborate, Gale was most likely talking about Meta's bets on artificial intelligence. Companies across the tech industry have been actively laying off workers for a while now to put more of their money into their AI endeavors.
Meta is betting big on AI after winding down its plans for the metaverse, which didn't quite take the world by storm as it had hoped. It's planning to build data centers with "tens of gigawatts" within this decade. It created a "superintelligence" team of AI experts, with company chief Mark Zuckerberg even hand-picking potential recruits and inviting them to his home. It's building AI agents and putting its AI chatbot in several of its products. The Times says Zuckerberg told investors the company is planning to spend between $115 billion to $135 billion this year, mostly on AI development.
By the end of 2025, Meta had around 78,000 employees. The layoffs affecting 8,000 workers will, thus, eliminate nearly 10 percent of the current roles within the company. Reuters says Meta will even cut more jobs later this year. Workers affected by the layoffs will get 16 weeks of severance pay, with an additional two extra weeks for every year they'd been with the company.
