Approximately 7,000 employees were ranked ‘subpar’ by Meta in a recent round of performance reviews, reported Moneycontrol citing The Wall Street Journal, adding that the firm also did away with a bonus metric.

“Low ratings could lead to more employees exiting Meta,” said a source to The Wall Street Journal, according to the report.

In a statement to the paper, a Meta spokesperson said, “We’ve always had a goal-based structure of high performance, and our review process is intended to incentivise long-term thinking and high-quality work, while helping employees get actionable feedback.”
