Meta is instructing managers to rank more employees in the 'Below Expectations' performance rating during mid-year reviews, indicating potential layoffs in the future.
This move aligns with CEO Mark Zuckerberg's strategy of swiftly removing low-performing employees from the company.
Managers have been directed to increase the percentage of employees in the lowest performance category, aiming to identify non-critical staff for potential cuts.
The company's focus on reshaping its workforce and performance management reflects an industry-wide trend in the tech sector to optimize efficiency and drive better outcomes.
