Meta keeps secret 'block' lists of ex-employees — and even help from its C-suite can't get you off them
- Meta maintains internal blocklists of employees who are ineligible for being rehired, causing surprise among former employees who were on these lists.
- Former Meta managers noted the difficulty in getting employees off the list, even with strong performance records.
- Certain employees, despite good performance and praise, found themselves blocked from rehiring after layoffs at Meta.
- Internal blocklists at Meta prevent certain former employees from rejoining, with various designations like 'non-regrettable attrition' and 'do not rehire.'
- Tech companies are implementing stricter performance management systems post-layoffs, creating barriers for former employees seeking reemployment.
- Former employees discovered they were barred from rejoining Meta without explicit notification, a practice uncommon in the tech industry.
- Managers at Meta reportedly have the discretion to add names to blocklists without clear-cut reasons, raising concerns about fairness.
- Meta's decision to block rehiring is based on various factors like reason for departure, performance ratings, and HR violations, according to the company.
- Former employees faced challenges when trying to reapply at Meta, unaware of being on blocklists without explanation.
- Maintaining such blocklists is not illegal but could pose legal risks if it disproportionately affects protected groups, according to employment attorneys.
