why do you have to wait for a market downturn to weed out under performers. that tells me management isn't doing its job and isn't tracking metrics or perhaps the right metrics.
random quarters where employees are let go for bullshit reasons, really kill morale and the top 10% of engineers start looking to go elsewhere as soon as the market improves. a facebook engineer can get another job pretty quickly as long as he's ok trading a bit of salary for stability.
- lumost 4y agoMy suspicion is that it’s easier for a senior manager at a large firm to be viewed as weeding out underperformers compared to defending an underperforming division. Zuckerberg’s bets over the last 4-6 years haven’t paid off well. It’s unclear that FB has the right metrics to optimize, and it’s unclear that the whole meta amount to a single marketable product. It’s probably easier to gloss over this if he tosses it off as a people problem.
- djmips 4y agoSounds like Zuckerberg is underperforming. I guess he needs to be weeded out. You know Zuckerberg might decide this place isn’t for him, and that’s OK with me.

- sobkas 4y agoMore like you hire a cleaner and then doesn't allow them to clean in some meta places and then complain they are filthy. And then sometimes you swing by the dumpster and grab few things that look interesting only to dump them in the middle of the room call it meta and don't allow anyone to touch it. You are a hoarder and can go through as many cleaners as you want and it won't change how filthy your apartment is. To the point that places that are cleaned don't stay clean for to long, because of how much meta garbage you accumulated over the years.
- 7speter 4y agoNo its more like you hire a cleaner, and the house is pretty damn clean and you smash all the windows out with a sledgehammer during a rainstorm. But hey, owner, doesnt work that way.
- 7speter 4y ago> Zuckerberg’s bets over the last 4-6 years haven’t paid off well. Its as if Zuckerberg is the biggest underperformer at the company. <cues Twilight Zone music>
