‘Do not re-hire’ | Meta has an 'unheard of' block list for some ex-employees

Certain former employees of Meta are placed on a block list preventing them from ever returning to the company, a Business Insider report has said.

BI spoke with five former employees who revealed that managers can add former employees to a ‘do not hire’ list in a matter of minutes.

In a statement, a Meta spokesperson confirmed there are “clear criteria for when someone is marked ineligible for rehire that are applied to all departing employees.”

The spokesperson disputed claims that a single manager could add a former employee to a block list in “minutes,” stating: “There are checks and balances in the process so that a single manager cannot unilaterally tag someone ineligible without support."
