- Meta’s layoffs were supposed to affect only the lowest-performing workers at the company. But laid-off employees have shared they received positive performance reviews and their jobs were cut anyway.
In mid-January, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg told staff he had “decided to raise the bar on performance management and move out low performers faster,” and planned to cut about 5% of his workforce. At the time, Zuckerberg made it sound as if it would just be low performers who would be affected by the layoffs.
