Meta's "year of efficiency" is not efficient: rumors of layoffs cause employees not to know what to do

According to news in the afternoon of February 13, Beijing time, in recent weeks, Meta is planning a new round of layoffs, resulting in a lack of clarity within the company in terms of budget or future number of employees. As a result, people complain that employees don't know what to do because managers can't plan what to do next.

Projects and decisions that previously took several days to complete could now take up to a month, according to people familiar with the matter. As a result, some employees "don't have a job to do" because managers don't know how to arrange their work.

"to be honest, the company is still a mess," said one Meta employee. "the imaginary 'year of efficiency' is about to begin, but the current situation is that many people can get paid by doing nothing."

Meta just announced 11000 job cuts in November last year and promised that 2023 would be a "year of efficiency". Now it seems that Meta's "year of efficiency" may not be efficient at the beginning of the year.

Meta has not commented on this.
