Layoffs at Meta’s Instagram

Sharing is Caring!

Meta’s Instagram started off the new year by telling at least 60 workers their jobs were disappearing, sources told Business Insider.

The change at the popular platform happened this week and affected technical program managers across the Instagram organization, according to two people familiar with the company and a post to Blind, an app popular with tech workers that verifies users’ employment. The TPM role is essentially being eliminated at Instagram, but workers are being given the opportunity to apply and reinterview to become a product manager. However if they aren’t selected for a new role, their employment will end in March.

A spokesperson for Meta declined to comment.

A former Instagram employee posted to LinkedIn about “expected changes to TPM roles,” adding that people are expected to “re-interview for PM roles” or product manager roles.
