BREAKING: Internal sources confirm another round of layoffs just hit emails at Tesla. For real.
Meta/Facebook worst PIP culture: https://youtu.be/-a3SZVzl6Wo Thank God I dodged the bullet and rejected Facebook Uplevel offer. Can't imagine how tough it would be for someone to be on PIP. When you see any team-members struggling, you need to support and uplift them try to help that person by providing the necessary resources and training. Be compassionate. Putting them on PIP and labeling them is not helpful. It will hurt their self confidence and is mentally very taxing. I've seen many engineers not performing to the expectations or struggling to catchup throughout my career but I was glad to be in a team where managers and other team members really care about each other and help the team member who they feel is struggling to perform or finish the task on time by offering training, involve in many design discussions. At the end, they turnout to be a great performers. Labeling them or bulling them or comparing anyone with their own profile and making them feel inferior is not right.

How well did this guy perform at meta?
Looks pretty good from his LinkedIn. Mostly E5, could be E6. 4.5 years at meta without getting pipped, a few promos
He is e6
Yeah, I totally disagree. When you are promoted to a level up at FB itās because youāve been performing at that level for about a year. If you fall to the bottom 5-10% of the company then itās not because you werenāt capable of performing better itās because you just didnāt work hard. Everyone expects raises and for the stock to not crater. How do you think companies get there? By doing better each year because the employees get more efficient and decisions are smarter.
I canāt tell how itās going to be with the annual PSC but poor performers at Meta used to get PIPed only after two MM or lower ratings, which gave them at least 6-8 months to find a job after the first MM.
What makes you think people leave after getting an MM? I know people who got MM and are still at the company years later and even promoted since then.
I donāt. Just explaining that poor performers have a decent amount of time to either turn things around or find another job. Itās never a sudden thing like startups or many other companies that donāt have a well defined performance management framework.
Weird flex, isn't Oracle doing layoffs right now?
No one in their right mind would rather work at Oracle. Just admit you got rejected and are trying to cope.
Yeah, canāt believe anyone would reject āMeta uplevel offerā, considering that Meta already pays higher than most for same level. Uplevel would be almost 2x TC I think
I would have actually believed OP's post if they hadn't mentioned they rejected Meta's *uplevel* offer. I can understand rejecting downlevel offers but OP got upleveled and much higher TC than they were making at Oracle?!?
I watched the entire video. What heās describing sounds like a typical pip process you would see at any major corporation (including oracle) Even google has to pip some of its employees. Not sure why youāre getting so worked up over this
The thumbnail is so cringe..
Not gonna watch the video, but having spent 4.5 years though I strongly disagree.
So sick of the fear porn on YouTube.
Iām so tired of the current public portrayal of this industry
Our industry is pretty toxic though. But guess we do get paid a shit ton of money so shouldnāt complainā¦
