I'm really happy this is happening. Meta had strict rules for hiring sr. managers (M2) wherein you'd to have a minimum of 30 reports in your previous job to even get called for an interview. Based on feedback from many of my friends at Meta, managers did _only_ paper work and hardly added any value other than filling PSC (their name for performance cycle). Meta might be going back to its roots - more doers than managers. This is one of the best moves Meta has made as a company in the past several years.

The amount of engineering manager hours spent on the "performance cycle" at Google and Meta is just insane. I honestly think it's a huge waste, they could get near-identical results with 10x less time spent on this whole bloated, process-heavy, over-"scientific" game . That would free up managers to work on the real problems, such as the complete disorganisation and inability to deliver cross-team projects

  To Google’s credit, they do seem to be trying to get performance process bloat under control in recent years.
