Zuckerberg is an unfit leader, says 70% of Meta workers - where did he go wrong?

Following an internal survey at the technology conglomerate Meta, 70% of the company’s employees shared they are dissatisfied with Mark Zuckerberg, the company’s CEO and founder, as a boss and aren’t confident in his leadership going forward.

This follows a series of mass layoffs in the tech giant which created an air of discontent amongst existing workers. Earlier this year, Meta announced it would be laying off 10,000 employees following the termination of 11,000 workers last year, as part of widespread redundancies across tech.

Spectators watched as thousands were left without a job, and many remaining workers reported an atmosphere of fear and anticipation as they worried their jobs would be next to be axed, some feeling resentment for the ‘inhumane’ way their colleagues had been let go. Simultaneously, news outlets reported stories of sacked workers struggling to find new employment.
