A mass layoff is expected soon at Meta, which owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. As inflation and the threat of a deep recession linger on, experts say the tech industry continues to make adjustments including using another technology to simplify tasks that employees would do in the past.

Other industry insiders say Meta, like other tech companies, is simply course-correcting after major growth.
