Meta Platforms Inc. is intensifying its performance evaluation process by targeting a larger number of employees as 'underperformers' in its mid-year reviews, according to internal memos and multiple reports. This move comes just months after the company implemented sweeping layoffs that affected nearly 4,000 workers. The expanded designation of 'below expectations' ratings suggests a continued focus on workforce optimization following the recent reduction in staff. Meta's approach reflects an ongoing effort to identify and address low performance within its workforce amid broader organizational changes.
