After the company’s recent layoffs, the CEO stated they would shift to “increasing the efficiency of how we make decisions.” Likewise, Wall Street loves austerity these days. Meta’s stock price jumped up nearly 20 percent after its earnings report was released. “We’re going to be more proactive about cutting projects that aren’t performing or may no longer be as crucial,” Zuckerberg said.
