Meta Retains Bottom 5% Performers in 2023
Meta Platforms, the parent company of Facebook, has recently clarified its stance on performance-based layoffs amidst online speculation. The tech giant urged that there are no plans for a new round of job cuts based on employee performance.
Meta’s Employment Strategy in 2023
Previously, Meta had considered implementing annual job cuts targeting low performers as a routine practice. However, a spokesperson from Meta emphasized that recent layoffs are not part of any company-wide initiative. These layoffs are addressed on a case-by-case basis.
Recent Reductions in Workforce
- In early 2023, Meta cut 10% of its Reality Labs division.
- This decision impacted over 1,000 employees.
- Last year, the company eliminated 5% of its workforce to focus on the lowest performers.
The spokesperson reassured employees that no new policies linking performance assessments to layoffs would be adopted this year. “We are not implementing any 5% low performers layoffs like we did last year,” they stated.
Shift in Corporate Policy
This announcement marks a significant change from early 2025. Internal communications had suggested that performance-based cuts might become a regular practice. Nonetheless, recent comments indicate that Meta is taking a different approach to managing employee performance.
As Meta continues to adapt and restructure its operations, the focus seems to shift towards strengthening its workforce rather than minimizing it based on performance metrics alone.
