Meta reportedly weighs cuts as AI spending grows, while Ireland sees cuts and hiring

Mark Zuckerberg is reportedly considering a workforce reduction of roughly 20% as Meta ramps up AI infrastructure investment; scale and timing are unconfirmed. Separately, new reporting says Meta may cut up to 350 jobs in Ireland, around 20% of local staff, while hiring hundreds there. Roles, timing, and net headcount effect are unclear, so the regional report does not confirm the broader rumored plan.
