Putting all of the employees on notice to keep their heads down and do their jobs without comment or complaint.

Should make all those people complaining about the DEI change shut up, the timing of the announcement is so close it is hard not to think they're related.

Performance reviews are bullshit. Being a "low performer" at Meta might mean you are not a suck-up, or that you have a sense of ethics.

Performance reviews aren't bullshit - it's crucial to have an objective (as objective as possible) system for measuring performance both to reward your high performers and to understand your low performers whether to provide support or to document reasons for firing them.

Several kinds of performance management system such as mandatory percentages for each rating level ARE bullshit, but without performance management of some sort any organization with more than 3 people will fail.
