Often performance reviews have little to do with performance and more to do with a$$ kissing abilities or ties with favorites or political affiliations.

If supervisors that are true low performers then any employee reviews they write have little value.

Efficiency reports are very subjective.

You can be sure the H1B/OPT workers were kept.

Exceeds expectations... This usually means the worker is so bad but did better than expected which is still sub par.

It’s called redundancy. You can be the best worker in the joint, but if someone else is already doing that job, you consolidate and reduce.

Has happened to me.

It seems unusually cruel and professionally harmful to publicly identify a lay off as a "low performance cull."

Applying for your next job is going to be pure hell.

Why did Meta lay me off?

Because my job performance was in the Bottom 5%...

A judge in Louisiana should declare Facebook must keep them on the job using the precedent the liberals Zuckerberg got in to power.

'This wasn't about performance; it was about workforce reduction in favor of AI initiatives,' former Meta content manager Kaila Curry said.

LERN2CODE, expendable "content manager".

"She alleged that during her one year at the company, she had five managers and two 'reorgs' - in what she described as a 'whirlwind' in which she was 'not set up for success.'

'Perhaps I became too vocal when our shift to young adult (YA) content involved removing safeguards that protected LGBTQ+ users.

'I spoke up because I didn't want to contribute to a platform that could increase suicide rates among LGBTQ+ youth.'

Can you believe this nutter? Thinking suicide rates will go up because you aren't at FRacebook?

Talk about checking off the "Do Not Rehire" box.

Hey, I hear USAID is hiring, you woke biotch -- Unbelievably Simpering Assholes In Denial.

Mark Zuckerberg’s Metaverse total losses are close to $70 billion for the past six years.

Why isn’t he fired for being a low performer? !!

And I thought that was a nut-cracker.
