Apparently they’re not doing much? I would expect this from either a company rapidly scaling up, or one with almost everyone jumping ship.
- k8t 4y agoAttrition is low and they're rapidly scaling up. https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/FB/meta-platforms/number-of-employees https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/FB/meta-platforms/... They've said in recent earnings calls that attrition during the pandemic has been lower than normal. Lower than Meta even wants, since it means people who aren't aligned with the company are deciding to stay.
- skybrian 4y agoIt's a growing company. It looks like the number of Facebook employees went up 60% or so since then. [1] At that rate, it's mathematically impossible for there not to be 60/160 = 37% of employees newer than him, even if nobody left.
