Firing low performers isn't standard in tech just yet — but that could change.

CEO Mark Zuckerberg has also warned employees about more such job cuts this year to 'raise the bar' on performance management.

Meta is planning to slash jobs based on performance. The company is all set to layoff nearly 5 per cent of the workforce, focusing on the lowest performing employees in the firm. A report by CNBC stated the CEO Mark Zuckerberg told the staff about the decision to ‘move out low performers faster’.

Meta's annual performance-based job cuts strategy aims to boost employee standards, increase non-regrettable attrition, and remove lowest performers.
