Meta Gives Thousands of Staff Subpar Reviews
- simula67 4y ago> Meta managers gave approximately 10% of employees ratings indicating they are underperforming, the people said. That proportion wasn’t unprecedented in the years before the pandemic. In other words, Meta is conducting business as usual.
- skellera 4y agoSome key facts, like the one you mentioned, aren’t visible if you don’t have a WSJ account. It’s just a bait headline for a normal cycle. They even say it is just more people included in the 10% because of strong recent hiring increasing the total. What a weird article.

- nivenkos 4y agoHopefully they unionise now.
- SQueeeeeL 4y agoGood luck to all the future PIP/layoff recipients. If you are one of the employees who just got their first subpar review, I hope you know that it was unavoidable and a business decision to do so, that has nothing to do with your actual performance
- awill 4y agonothing? My guess is they've changed the ratios. Maybe previously Zuck expected 10% to get subpar reviews, and now he's asked for 30%.
- ahahahahah 4y agoWell, according to the article we're discussing, your guess is wrong. "approximately 10% of employees ratings indicating they are underperforming, the people said. That proportion wasn’t unprecedented in the years before the pandemic."
- awill 4y agomy guess wasn't about the raw percentages. But that they increased it. It's ridiculous to think that Meta gave bad ratings to their best people. They just pushed people downwards.
- rr808 4y agoYou mean some people in a company actually perform below the average of a company?
- efficax 4y agogiving them low perf scores before firing means you can’t do another round of mass layoffs since then it would be for cause and not a layoff
- doubtfuluser 4y agoI bet Marc is also giving himself a „meets most“ and putting himself on a pip. Since as we know „he takes the responsibility“ for what is happening…

- awill 4y agoHow have the killed WhatsApp? It's still the dominant instant messenger.
- sfc32 4y agoIt's also a way to keep them on, but give them a lower salary increase.
- yalogin 4y agoYeah subpar reviews don’t mean more layoffs are coming. The article is just trying to reach. Even after they laid off they still have to grade on a curve.
