Facebook parent company Meta will cut more than 11,000 jobs, reducing its workforce by about 13 percent, as it faces a revenue crunch as advertisers pull back amid high inflation and a wobbly economy.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the cuts in a Nov. 9 blog post, in which he took the blame for overestimating the company’s growth prospects and overextending investments.
