The bad news continues for tech companies with job losses announced yesterday at one of the big beasts in the sector.

Meta, the parent company of Facebook and WhatAapp, announced 11,000 job losses worldwide, reducing its overall workforce by about 13%. That means just under 400 Irish Meta employees will lose their jobs.
