Black Monday at Meta as Performance-Based Layoffs Begin
Briefly

Meta is commencing a round of performance-based layoffs impacting about 3,600 employees globally. Notifications were issued to workers across Asia, Europe, and the U.S., informing them about severance packages and immediate access loss to Meta systems. CEO Mark Zuckerberg emphasized a shift towards stricter performance management, which allows for quicker terminations of low performers. Recently, the company has already seen major layoffs, but this round specifically targets performance issues, suggesting a potential culture shift within the organization with respect to workforce management.
Affected employees will receive emails on both work and personal addresses detailing their severance packages, and access to Meta systems will be revoked one hour after notification.
