"Months after Meta's high-profile culling of low performers, the stigma associated with the job cuts still stings."
"A Meta spokesperson reiterated what the company previously shared with BI earlier this year about its low-performer cuts: 'Let me be clear, these were performance-based terminations.'"
"A former employee's mid-year review put him 'At or Above Expectations' but his year-end rating was 'Meets Most,' leaving him eligible for termination."
"Some former employees pushed back on that. Some said they had received positive ratings months earlier."
Meta's recent layoffs, impacting about 3,600 employees or 5% of its workforce, were framed as performance-based decisions by CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Despite this, many ex-employees feel misrepresented, claiming their previous appraisals were positive or that they faced layoffs during personal leave. Concerns linger over the stigma of being labeled a 'low performer', which could harm their future employment opportunities. A Meta spokesperson defended the decision, emphasizing ongoing accountability to a high-performance culture at the company.
