Last week Meta, which also owns Instagram and WhatsApp, announced plans to cut 10,000 jobs.
Mr Jassy said it is " never easy" to lose employees, adding: " To those ultimately impacted by these reductions, I want to Thank You for The Work you have done on behalf of customers and The Company . "
Another area that will see cuts is Twitch, a livestreaming platform for content including gaming and music.
