Meta’s planning major job cuts that could affect “thousands” of workers, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal. Sources familiar with the situation told the WSJ that the layoffs could begin as soon as Wednesday.

The Facebook and Instagram parent company reported over 87,000 employees at the end of September, but these “large-scale” layoffs are expected to slash a significant portion of staff members. According to the WSJthe layoffs could hit Meta even harder than the mass job cuts at Twitter, which affected about half of the company’s 7,500-employee workforce.

Meta declined to comment on the situation but pointed The Verge to Zuckerberg’s statement during the company’s earnings call last month. “In 2023, we’re going to focus our investments on a small number of high priority growth areas,” Zuckerberg said. “So that means some teams will grow meaningfully, but most other teams will stay flat or shrink over the next year. In aggregate, we expect to end 2023 as either roughly the same size, or even a slightly smaller organization than we are today.”

Although Zuckerberg says Facebook has more active users than ever before, investors are still concerned about the company’s pricey bet on the metaverse. Meta’s virtual reality arm lost $3.7 billion this past quarter and a total of $9.4 billion this year, while the company’s stock is trading at its lowest price since 2016.

Samsung recently released the Galaxy Tab S8 lineup, and today only, you can snag one at Best Buy for up to $300 less. Be aware that these low-price offers expire tonight, Oct. 14.

This premium tablet features a 12.4-inch AMOLED display and is the perfect size for work and play, with a screen big enough and bright enough to work or stream on for a long time, while also being more portable than the Ultra.

As for video calls for work conferencing or with friends and family, the Plus has a 12-megapixel front-facing camera with intelligent autoframing. And the tablet also comes with DeX software, which lets you connect to both a mouse and external display, if you want to, making it versatile. Your purchase also includes an S Pen so you can take notes, draw and much more. Do you need to turn your tablet into a full workstation? You can get a keyboard cover to use it like a laptop — though that is sold separately. In fact, you
