Is another Meta layoff round coming after the May one?

Trying to decide whether to wait for my refresher or start interviewing now.

Here's the timeline so far in 2026:• January: about 1,000 cut in Reality Labs.• March: around 700, mainly Reality Labs, social media and recruiting.• May: the big one, about 8,000 people (roughly 10%), and 6,000 open roles were scrapped. CNBC reported that leaders told staff more cuts are possible later in the year, with an August and a fall round mentioned by people familiar with it. Separately, Meta said in February it would not repeat last year's 5% low performer cut. So more cuts are possible, but no confirmed date or size.Sources: cnbc.com ↗ , aljazeera.com ↗
