Meta Layoffs: Meta has decided to show the way out to about 3,600 employees with poor performance. The company is not satisfied with their work and new recruitment will be done in their place. This information has come to light from an internal memo. The company that owns Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp has more than 72,000 employees. This latest decision of Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg will affect about 5 percent of the employees.
Zuckerberg took the decision
According to media reports, Mark Zuckerberg himself has taken this decision. He said, “I have now decided to raise the level of performance and quickly fire non-performing employees. This decision has been taken to keep the best talent in the company and recruit new people.”
These employees will be affected
This decision will have the greatest impact on those employees who have been working in the company for a long time. The company will evaluate their performance and employees who do not perform as per expectations may lose their jobs. The company has assured that the affected employees will get appropriate compensation. Let us tell you that such layoffs are normal in American companies. Some days, Microsoft also took such a decision, which will affect one percent of the company’s employees.
Meta is in the headlines
Meta has been in the headlines for the last few days. This month, Zuckerberg had announced changes in the company’s content moderation policy. He had said that Meta is now closing its fact-checking program. In its place, community notes like X will be introduced. Zuckerberg said that fact checkers have been politically biased and have not been able to win people’s trust. Apart from this, he has given place to many people close to Donald Trump in the company and board.
