The year of “efficiency”, highlighted by Mark Zuckerberg when announcing Facebook’s financial results, begins in a very surprising way. As reported by financial times, the company’s massive layoffs have led to some ridiculous situations. With, as a result, employees paid without any roadmap being communicated to them.
The US economic environment recalls that this situation is linked to the departure of many managers, but also to the uncertainty that hangs over a new wave of layoffs that is coming. According to two different sources, the vagueness around the near future of certain managers has left actual working hours in the background. Employees have thus shared their frustration at not being assigned to any task in the coming weeks.
Validation deadlines
Always according to the same source, this situation is linked to the delays, which are much greater than before, to validate the projects internally. Validations that normally take several days can now take a month. At the same time, the company is asking its executives to focus on more operational tasks or jump ship.
On Facebook, vagueness also reigns at the strategy level. Proposed for many months by Mark Zuckerberg, the “metaverse” project, which currently attracts neither users nor investors, costs the company a billion dollars a month.
At the beginning of February, the founder of the American giant thus changed his speech, relegating the concept of “metavers” to the background to better evoke artificial intelligence, a central theme in the speech of many competitors at the beginning of the year. .
