Mark Zuckerberg is leaning into Meta's 'year of efficiency' the wrong way, and multiple rounds of layoffs will be damaging
underscore the mistakes that many, including Meta, made by hiring too fast, Sandra Sucher, a professor of management practice at Harvard Business School who's studied layoffs, told Insider.
"You have to step back and say, 'What kind of a reasonable businessperson actually puts people at risk by doubling the size of their organization in two years?'" she said."What are the conditions that you think would have to hold for that to be a reasonable bet?"Zuckerberg argues that"flatter is faster," so Meta will trim multiple layers of management.
Sucher said that rethinking how to run an organization and looking for ways to make it move faster makes sense, provided the organization does it wisely.But while Zuckerberg might have come up with a plan for a leaner, meaner management structure, he didn't offer many concrete details for how the layoffs will unfold. The reductions are expected to play out over months: Some cuts will occur in late April, but others will happen in late May.

Meta launches subscription service in USThe Meta Verified service will give users a blue badge after they verify their accounts using a government ID and will cost $11.99 per month on the web or $14.99 a month on Apple's iOS system and Google-owned Android, Meta said in a statement. The service, which Meta said it was testing in February, follows in the footsteps of Snap Inc-owned Snapchat as well as messaging app Telegram and marks the latest effort by a social media company to diversify its revenue away from advertising. After a $44 billion buyout by Musk last year, Twitter had rolled out its Blue subscription service which lets people pay for the blue check mark previously limited to verified accounts of politicians, journalists and other public figures.
