Meta Targets More 'Underperformers' in Mid-Year Reviews

An anonymous reader shares a report: Meta is expanding the ranks of its lowest-rated employees in mid-year performance reviews, a move that could lead to more performance-based cuts. Meta is telling managers to put more employees in 'Below Expectations', the lowest performance bucket during this year's mid-year performance reviews, according to a memo shared on Meta's internal forum on May 14, which was viewed by Business Insider. For teams of 150 or more, Meta wants managers to put 15-20% of employees in the bottom bucket compared to 12-15% last year.

The expanded range includes employees who have already left the company as part of 'non-regrettable attrition', Meta's term for staff considered non-critical to operations, including those who resigned or were dismissed for underperformance. The mid-year performance review process is 'an opportunity to make exit decisions', according to the memo. It added that 'there will be no company-wide performance terminations, unlike earlier this year,' and leaders are expected to manage the performance of their reports.
