The jobcuts will impact about 10% of Meta’s hardware division, including teams working on Quest VR headsets and the Horizon Worlds virtual social platform.
That doesn’t seem overly crazy to me. They were trying to quickly build out an immature platform of an immature technology. Doing that requires entire divisions for hardware, software, research, marketing, etc. and for each of those divisions there’s all the associated staff of managers, hr, administrators, etc.

Even then, I would think it would be in the low hundreds.
