Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 06:35:17 GMT

The company announced 11,000 job cuts in November, about 13% of its workforce at the time. In addition to the layoffs, Meta said Tuesday that it would not fill 5,000 open positions. “This will be tough and there’s no way around that,” said CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Meta and other tech companies have been hiring aggressively for at least two years and in recent months have begun to let some of those workers go. Hiring in the U.S. is still strong, but layoffs have hit hard in some sectors. Early last month, Meta posted falling profits and its third consecutive quarter of declining revenue. On the same day, the company said that it would buy back as much as $40 billion of its own stock. The Menlo Park, company said Tuesday it will reduce the size of its recruiting tea...

(CNN) — La Agencia de Protección Ambiental de EE.UU. (EPA, por sus siglas en inglés) propuso este martes la primera norma nacional de agua potable para las “sustancias químicas para siempre”, peligrosas para la salud humana.
