Meta (Facebook) simultaneously puts 5 % of its employees in all company centers around the world, including in Israel. About 40 employees in Israel were called to a hearing before their rejection representing a little less than 5 % of the Meta 900 employees in Israel.
Several weeks ago, CEO of Meta Mark Zuckerberg said that he is planning to conduct the “strengthening” of the workforce by laying off 5 % of the company’s low -performance employees, a practice that was previously implemented in companies such as Microsoft and Intel.

The Zuckerberg statement has been criticized online, as this affected by this step will be stigmatized as a low performance. Gabi Hernandez, a former Mita employee, criticized the step on LinkedIn, saying that “a wave of employees will be classified in public places as low artists, but employers – do not fall on it. It will be your best employee at a later time.
Other staff criticized this step unknown. An employee talks, speaking to “Business Insider”, “Zuckerberg creates a culture of fear, one must be loyal to him”; Another employee said that “working in Meta is similar to working in George Orwell’s book.”
The demobilization of 5 % of the lowest performance of artists in the institution is a known practice that is sometimes implemented by the large companies that collected an excessive number of employees, but a few executives publicly declare this. In Intel, there is a tradition to measure performance and send a warning to employees who were found to be low artists, after which they are given an opportunity to improve their performance. In Microsoft Israel, a policy of up to 5 % was presented every year by the former CEO of Microsoft Israel, Aryeh Skop, which he talked about a lot. However, such a statement is usually criticized by employees, so many managers do not tend to publicly talk about their intention to reduce the number of employees automatically.
