Summary
Meta quietly laid off 1,160 employees across three Manhattan offices, according to a New York State Labor Department WARN notice posted Aug. 20. The cuts are part of a broader reduction announced in May that eliminated about 8,000 roles globally as the company redirected resources to AI and sought to run more efficiently. The Manhattan reductions were distributed across two Chelsea offices and an East Village office: 417 at 380 West 33rd St., 389 at 770 Broadway, and 354 at 415 Tenth Avenue. Meta has said the layoffs reflect restructuring tied to its AI pivot; the article notes the company’s recent financial context, including 2025 revenue of $201 billion and reduced net income amid AI investments.
