Meta employees are reportedly being pushed to work twice as hard to protect their jobs at the troubled tech titan as workers brace for sweeping layoffs.
“Zuck’s message was loud and clear: You have three months to prove your worth, put in 200% effort, or you can resign now if you don’t like it,” one unnamed Meta employee told Insider, referring to CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
The productivity push is unfolding during a sustained downturn in Meta’s stock price as the social media giant struggles to rebrand itself as a metaverse company.
Meta shares plunged more than 20% on Thursday after the company reported a 52% plunge in third-quarter profit.
Meta has reshuffled many of its teams and managers as Zuckerberg urges employees to work with more intensity, Insider reported, citing interviews with three current employees.
One current employee said his manager warned that even the best-performing workers were “not safe.”
