Rather than lay them off.

‘OG Mark’ Returns at Meta as Facebook Parent Gives Thousands of Staff Subpar Reviews


WSJ

Face­book par­ent Meta Plat­forms Inc. gave thou­sands of em­ploy­ees sub­par rat­ings in a re­cently con­cluded round of per­for­mance re­views, a sig­nal that more job cuts may be on the way, peo­ple fa­mil­iar with the mat­ter said.

The com­pany also cut a bonus met­ric, the peo­ple said, one of sev­eral steps se­nior ex­ec­u­tives are tak­ing af­ter Chief Ex­ec­u­tive Mark Zucker­berg de­clared 2023 would be a “year of ef­fi­ciency.”


META has recently invested huge amounts of cash in new initiatives that users aren’t interested in.

Sounds like something a leftist organization would do.

Renaming that company was so stupid. Their core businesses are Facebook and Instagram, not some "metaverse" side project almost nobody cares about.

Maybe thousands of spoiled workers have a shite work ethic and now in leaner times are accurately being rated for the first time in their lives.

You mean people don't actually want to live in a completely simulated environment and live like the people in Ready Player One?

Who would've thought that?

Get off my lawn, old fart trigger alert.

That’s called grading on the curve. It’s what we had before participation medals.

There are 100 jobs and 150 employees. Rank em. What in the hell else are you going to do.

Would you prefer that the company go broke so that the lowest performing quiet quitters can keep their jobs? Or maybe they should all draw straws to see who gets to stay.

It’s the real fricking world. You aren’t owed a job. If you don’t like it, meet me at the Sonic.

But the important part is they expanded their DEI department and are more focused on equity.

So there's no chance the employees deserved the reviews received ? Sounds like Meta just raised the bar and these folks don't measure up

These people feel they have to always keep innovating instead of just improving their core products. They are such narcissists they cannot fathom people wont want their innovations.

Well then that's still Meta's fault for only now accurately rating them.

META probably has thousands of employees that are subpar.

Exxon did the same. They manipulated their rankings in 2020 after the downturn to make sure certain % of bottom 10% performers came across divisions that they could get rid of and replace with workers in India.
