Um, so I hate Facebook as much as the next commenter but calling it news that FB managers are meant to be getting rid of less good employees seems like quite a large stretch.
I would assume that that is standard practice at every company that exists?
- suprjami 4y agoMediocre or downright inactive workers are endemic to the workforce. Not everyone has a job they love or are passionate about, they just want to get paid for doing as little as possible then go home. Even at employers who do pursue this sort of policy, getting a bad worker fired can be incredibly difficult in some places. So no, a logical person who puts effort into their job would think this is standard practice, but it definitely isn't.
- plantwallshoe 4y agoHaving worked there on several different teams, I can confidently say slacker engineers are not common at fb. They have plenty of systems in place to keep people grinding.
- 8note 4y agoslacker engineers are incredibly valueable. if work is being slacked on, it's a good sign that the design is bad.
- zcw100 4y ago“Just want to get paid for doing as little as possible” Ya, no kidding and the employer wants to get as much as they can while paying as little as possible. That’s how it works. It’s Econ 101. Hiring employees is like buying fruit. You don’t have some right to a perfect basket of peaches.
- plantwallshoe 4y agoYeah but the head of engineering doesn’t put out a memo like this if it’s just business as usual. To me this is clearly indicative of the “turning up the heat.”
- DisjointedHunt 4y agoYup, and ask for names to be submitted by the end of day Monday next week. Lol, this is a “offer up your sacrifices now, I have pressure from up top”
