Hiring in Kovid, now cost cutting
Recently, Meta Platforms Inc., the parent company of Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram, had fired 11,000 of its employees. For the first time in the company's 18-year history, such a large number of employees were retrenched. The announcement to remove the employees was made by the company's CEO Mark Zuckerberg. He attributed this to the decline in revenue due to wrong decisions.
Mark had said, 'At the beginning of Kovid, the world rapidly went online and the increase in e-commerce increased the revenue. Many predicted that this increase would be permanent, which would continue even after the end of the pandemic. I thought the same, so I decided to increase my investment. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectation.
Not only has online commerce returned to earlier trends, but the macroeconomic downturn, competition, and less advertising have resulted in revenue being lower than I expected. I made this mistake and I take responsibility for it. In this new environment, we need to become more capital efficient. We have shifted resources to high priority growth areas.
