Profile of people chosen for Meta & Twitter layoffs.
Hi to all, Could you please specify if someone knows what where the characteristics of any of the people who got laid off through Meta & Twitter such decisions? With what criteria where those people chosen? They chose the ones with the least relevant education or the ones with the least relevant experience?
Its random
It genuinely feels so hard to tell when I look at the smattering of people laid off around me. It almost seems random to be honest. I don't know details od anyones actual performance individually, but some of the less tenured people who were struggling were let go. At the same time, some of the successful super tenured beloved strong contributors were let go as well. It definitely seems unrelated to the amount of education or experience, and it seems like the decisions were made at a very high level without meaningful input from managers or directors. But who knows - I'm just making an educated guess here.
If you don’t make more $$$ than you cost (opportunity cost too) then you’re outie. That’s how most of these things go, anyway.
After some performance metrics, their TC might’ve worked against them
Meta: people with less tenure, lesser overall experience Twitter: orgs not important to core business
This is not true. More than Half of the ppl I know who's impacted from this layoff have +5 yrs experience in Meta (and more counting career before joining Meta)
It was a mixed bag and purposefully so. Anything else that you hear is BS. They let go high performers, low performers, long tenure, short tenure (people who joined on 7th and laid off 9th), people in bootcamp, people who were pre allocated. Doing it in such a manner means there's no pattern to decipher and none of the groups can complain or sue based on fairness. It's as simple as that.
C'mon are you just pasting your article questions here?
Sounds like it 😂
I am not a journalist. What articles do you mean?
What a shitty post. You are trying to imply that it’s employee’s fault for being laid off. 14000 people were laid off between these two organisations. Are you really trying to say it was skills or performance related? Go f yourself. When 14000 people get laid off it’s on the CEO and management
Calm down. OP never said that it's the employees' fault. Once a company has decided to layoff people anyway, then it makes sense to layoff people who the company can do without. There can be other criteria used by a company too. That's what I believe OP is trying to understand
OP is just trying to guage the layoff distribution.
I have a bunch of friends and colleagues who work there. Is there visibility into who got laid off
A lot of them added themselves to the layoffs.fyi list
OP should go ask Bain people, they probably have definitive answer...
They are your m and d. F u!
education? sir, this is not the indian forum
