Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg warned employees Tuesday that the company is planning to push out “low performers” faster — a move that will lead to thousands of job cuts in a layoff that could affect 5 percent of the company.

Will never take seriously someone so motivated by his dick he created an app to compare women's attractiveness... Facemash (which many would like to do to Zuck, I'd wager)
MLK Birthday Holiday aka Russian Assets Installation Day - January 20, 2025, please delete all Meta apps. The only way to get these oligarchs to understand is to stop using/buying their products. No FB, No Instagram, No Threads.
Technology only helping the greedy, not society. We need to end this BS and begging the greedy ain't gonna cut it. The idea of competition providing the best product is an utter failure.
From what I’ve heard the workplace at meta is highly competitive and cutthroat employees tend to be favored in performance reviews. Wonder if this decision is related to the possible increase in h1b visas that they’re pushing for.
So every person laid off will be presumed to be a “low performer” in their job hunt. I thought CA had laws about permitted disclosures to prospective employers, much less making broad & public characterizations about employees. I hope the class action and EEOC attys are watching. Way to go, Meta. 👎
Journalists would ask what the review cycle was before and start publishing stories about it.
Reviews at Meta were already incredibly difficult and time consuming. Now they’re going to get mean. That’s what this is. Ask someone who knows and will talk.
Zuckerberg was the employee that pumped billions of dollars into the failed Metaverse.
Is there any employee at Meta who is a lower performer than Mark Zuckerberg?
Workers and staff, companies are nothing without you and your skill set. Take time to add up your value starting with how often you are at work each day of the month.
Mark Musk doesn’t have the same ring to it as Elon Zuckerberg. Glad they are happy with each other. That’s all that matters. Bezos is the “pool boy” to both of them.
The tough guy is taking a hard line and throwing WOKE out of the company. Those who don't perform well, we kick in the ass.
Said the man who is one of the world's richest, shame on the trump lovers
Of all the billionaires he’s one that many admired. Now he’s going totally mask off. I hope the poor class across all political demographics are watching.
You forget that all of the Boomers & Gen X have this weird obsession with worshiping every move Warren Buffet makes, so now we sit back and wait for him to disappoint us, too!
So up until this point, he did not realize that they were "low performers" in the company ? It's very scary what is coming down the pipe. It will be bitter and hard to swallow. America should see what they were warned about many many months ago. So sad!
Hey Mark. Come into my office. As a result of the Metaverse project results we’ve decided that it would be better if we parted ways. I know your heart was in the right place, but your vision for the company just doesn’t align with ours. Bob from HR will walk you through your severance package.
It is. Has always been I think. But at one given time we are all young and stupid enough to think that's like, normal (worked on IT since late 90s and I'm looking for a career drift now)
He's following Mr Musk, which could seriously backfire, since he had not said whether the "low performers" were being currently coached on an improvement path.
Facebook has purchased over $100 Billion of its own stock since 2021. Which is basically stealing wages from Facebook’s employees to purchase its own stock to manipulate a higher stock price to enrich its executives and stockholders. https://www.tipranks.com/stocks/meta/buybacks
At jobs, blk workers r made to do 3x the work 4 1/2 the pay. If a person can't carry the load of his 10 lazy entitled co-workers they say "low performance". I feel sorry 4 the blk ppl they keep. They're really gonna b overloaded! I say "try" to get canned . They can't handle a workplace w/ out us.
First the angry mob came for Cunterberg and Co. and I did nothing, because I was pissing myself laughing.
It's going to be a great day when that inevitably happens.
What you gotta do to be in the club, I guess. In a few years it will be a different set of fellow masters of the universe he'll want to be in a club with.
No reason to stigmatize people who are soon to be let go. You do your evaluations behind the scenes, including taking input from line managers, you do a ranking list, then you quietly let the bottom 5% go. You cite belt-tightening or efficiency improvements as the reason, and call it a day.
Oh so recent stuff isn't just fealty to trump it's the company already eating shit and trying to get in front of it and run off the minorities at the same time
The USA is the home of work place slavery where idiots like Musk and Zuckerberg are granted unlimited power. When are employees going to wake up? Work place democracy now!.
Dude lobbied to get a massive platform banned, and just before a mass-exodus, he wants to lay off employees and over work the "High performers" until he lays them off for, get this, low performance.

I just hope they cull the managers first and dont assess those who work for said under performing managers.
I’ve inherited loads of allegedly underperforming teams and all they needed was a good manager.
Inquiring minds.

Employees working under #TheSociopathicBusinessModel will always be low performers because fraud is NOT sustainable.
Low preformed = people who Trump and Musk hate. Zuckerberg the bootlicker appeasing the owners of his soul is all this is.

He’s a “low performer” in every sense.
miserable poor excuse of a man
Low performers, it's the Trump effect, Zuck.
Get your kicks in 2026!!!
Oh were all a family here, come on let's do it.

"Low Performers" will "coincidently" always just be people who don't fit in with the company that Zuck wants to rule over.
“This announcement helps zuck juice the stock price”
F wapo and meta.

Nobody wants that shit.

Regression to the means.
