As per Washington Post, an employee survey was conducted by Meta (formerly named Facebook).
Additionally, according to the survey findings, only 26 percent of the staff members have faith in CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s leadership. This led to nearly 70 percent of employees rating him as a bad leader and a terrible boss.
The employees are low in morale at the company as have been multiple rounds of layoffs, spending cuts, and strategy changes as part of Zuckerberg’s plans for a “year of efficiency.”
In March, Meta announced the termination of 10,000 employees, following a previous round of layoffs that affected 11,000 jobs. These layoffs have caused a negative impact on employee satisfaction.
Earlier, Mark Zuckerberg said, “We’re committed to distributed work. That means we’re also committed to continuously refining our model to make this work as effectively as possible.”
“Our early analysis of performance data suggests that engineers who either joined Meta in person and then transferred to remote or remained in-person performed better on average than people who joined remotely”, he added.
“This analysis also shows that engineers earlier in their careers perform better on average when they work in person with teammates at least three days a week. This requires further study, but our hypothesis is that it is still easier to build trust in the person and that those relationships help us work more effectively”, he added.
“As part of our Year of Efficiency, we’re focusing on understanding this further and finding ways to make sure people build the necessary connections to work effectively. In the meantime, I encourage all of you to find more opportunities to work with your colleagues in person”, he added.
The company is also ending Work From Home ends, employees are asked to come office 3 days a week. The policy will be effective starting September 5. Additionally, the employees that were hired for a remote position in an area where there is no office will not be impacted by the new policy.
