A new report by theWall Street Journalclaims that Meta Platforms, formerly Facebook, has told certain employees they must find another job within the company within a 30-day time limit or face termination during the company's restructuring. Employees set to be terminated if they don't find a new position internally have reportedly been put on a "30-day list."

The harsh push comes as the social media behemoth attempts to cut costs by 10%. A spokesperson for Meta confirmed to WSJ that reports of the attempt to move around employees are accurate.

"We've been public about the need for our teams to shift to meet … challenges," Tracy Clayton, spokesperson for Meta platforms, told the outlet.

Meta has not disclosed the exact number of layoffs.

"The reports about these efforts are consistent with this focus and what we've already shared publicly about our operating style."
