A company with links to the parent company of Facebook and Instagram will lay off more than five dozen employees at a data center in Prineville.
An Oregon WARN notice says California-based IT services and digital solutions company Milestone Technologies will lay off 66 non-union workers on June 28.
The majority of the workers hold the title of Data Center Logistics Associate.
In an April 29 email to the Oregon Higher Education Coordination Commission’s Rapid Response Coordinator, a Milestone executive said the layoffs are due to the end of a contract with the client at this location.
Data Center Mapper shows the address listed on the HECC emails is a part of Meta’s Prineville campus.
Meta recently announced a layoff of 10% of its staff, though a spokesperson told KLCC that this move was “a change in our vendor partnerships” and that it plans to rehire the majority of staff through a different firm.
“We continue to make significant investments in data centers across our entire portfolio including right here in Prineville,” the spokesperson said in an email.
Milestone did not return requests for comment from KLCC.
