‘Not underperformers’ | Meta faces employee backlash over large-scale 'Performance-Based' layoffs

Meta employees are voicing frustration over the company's latest round of “performance based” layoffs on public forums.

The job cuts, which began this week, affected approximately 3,600 workers-around 5% of Meta’s workforce- according to an internal memo from CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

Despite Meta’s assertion that the layoffs targeted low performers, many affected employees are disputing his claim.

Fortune reports that several have taken to social media to defend their work history, arguing that they were unfairly labeled as underperformers despite consistently meeting or exceeding expectations.
