Meta's Layoffs: Performance-Based Cuts or Just Bad Timing?

Meta's latest layoffs of 3,600 employees have raised eyebrows, with CEO Mark Zuckerberg branding them as “low performers.” This move follows a staggering 21,000 job cuts in the past two years, ostensibly to enhance performance management. However, many affected employees argue their solid performance records contradict this narrative. Allegations of bias against those who recently took parental leave also surfaced. While Meta's stock is soaring, the “low performer” label may haunt those laid off, challenging the company’s reputation amid ongoing changes in leadership and strategy.

What do you think about performance-based layoffs? Are they fair or just a way to shift blame?

Would appreciate if it is not part of the default feed on login or if there is an option to filter out Vol-TE’s Tech Digest from the feed. Right now 12 of the 60 recent topics are from the bot, which is a bit too much, content aside.

Ignore that sub forum. I have posted the link above for easy access.

PS: We can have a separate subforum for Vol-TE posted news so that member posted news do not get inundated and people can ignore the news if they want.

If its in different section, then I guess no one will read it. just a thought. Can be tested for sometime to see
 
Yeah lets test it out for sometime. Its all evolving. They will anyway appear in the new posts feed. Someone who has come solely for market will ignore it, someone who has come to be part of the tech community and get informed would read it.

So far I have tried to cover news items which are informative and not just gadget heavy like most Indian news portals which cater primarily to google search.
