Meta CEO Zuckerberg: office work is more efficient than telecommuting

On the evening of March 15, Beijing time, it is reported that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg (Mark Zuckerberg) recently said that an internal analysis shows that employees are more efficient in the office than telecommuting.

Following the 11000 job cuts announced in November last year, Meta yesterday announced another 10000 job cuts, or about 13 per cent of its workforce. As part of the layoff announcement, Zuckerberg said an internal analysis showed that engineers working in offices could do more work.

Meta is still committed to "distributed work," which can work from home or on the road, but encourages employees to work "face-to-face," he said.

"our analysis shows that face-to-face work is better than telecommuting," Zuckerberg said. " The Meta analysis also shows that engineers early in their careers perform better if they work face-to-face with team members at least three days a week.

In the early stages of the outbreak, Meta was one of the first technology companies to allow employees to work remotely. Later, Meta extended its flexible work policy until 2021, allowing employees at all levels of the company to work full-time remotely.

This year, Meta is still telecommuting. But with big tech companies like Amazon suddenly announcing that they have to work in the office at least three days a week, Meta seems to have begun to rethink its position.

"this is still a preliminary analysis and further research is needed," Zuckerberg said. but we think it is easier to build trust in person, and these relationships help us to work more effectively. "
