#12Performance 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…
You failed the moment you said objective. Any such system needs to acknowledge right off the bat that these assessments are subjective, subject to human error and re-enforcing bias etc. Otherwise you're just high on your own supply.

This isn't how it ever, ever plays out.
Also, most companies implementing this clearly are doing so out of some sort of compliance, whether it be SOC or otherwise. So yea, lots of times it actually is total performative bullshit. Congrats on finding the .000000000001% of cases where it isn't, if you are being serious here.

#16It seems Zuck is turning into Elon. What's next? closing the European offices? forcing people to return to the office? relocating HQ to Texas?

Facebook is trying to cozy up to Donald Trump, someone that a large portion of their employees hate. Could just as easily be to keep them in line

#18Part of Zucks plan to stop hiring mid-level engineers this year (as he said on JRE)?
I am very very skeptical of this idea - what do you all think?

It says that they’re back filling the roles… you know that doesn’t happen in a recession right?
