- CTO and Meta told employees to “leave or disagree and engage” to work in the company.
- Andrew Bosworth responded to some employees expressing concerns about recent policy changes.
- The company recently changed its approach to the Q&A internal sessions to hit the leaks.
Meta technology official Andrew Bosworth told some employees to abandon and “consider working elsewhere” if they think all employees should like company policies.
Bosworth’s remarks were in response to comments in a post he shared on January 30th into an open group for the interior forum of the Meta job.
In the group, called “Le to Fix Meta”, Bosworth shared an article from The Verge on CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s comments about employees in a comprehensive meeting that day, in which he first reported Business Insider.
Together with the article link, he wrote: “As predicted, today’s intention Q&A revealed. It looks like someone simply gave all the audio source to a journalist. I saw all the angry/sad reactions to the change in format and I Share a feeling of loss about it, but I think it makes it clear that it was the right call. “
Commenting on group posting, which has nearly 12,000 members, one employee wrote: “1. The company changes policies to specifically target the LGBTQ community, 2 right podcast to explain changes in the country to address employees, 4. Limit free speech inside … and there is a surprise? “
In response, Bosworth noted that in his original post, he showed that it was no surprise, saying that except the specifics, “If your view is’ everyone should like all the policies we have and if they are not appropriate It’s convenient to flow ‘then I think you should consider working elsewhere.’
Another person commented, saying they “agree that the flow is not productive or rational”, adding: “Emotional and scared employees do not do productive things.”
In a special comment, the same person said: “False leaks why Mark’s policy decisions cannot even be discussed, much less appealed, is slap in the face. We are all here because when we were hired, we were best candidate for work. ” The person added that employees were being treated poorly.
The exchange continued, with Bosworth replying, “You have to give up if you feel that way, I have the word.” He also expressed confusion with the suggestion that employees were being mistreated.
He added: “If you do not refer to politics changes, in this case Mark spent a lot of time talking through them, it just sounds like you disagree. In that case you can leave or disagree and perform.”
Before the company meeting in January of all hands, Meta’s internal communications vice president told employees in a job post that the social media giant was changing his process for choosing questions at Q&A sessions.
“We will pass the questions we expect can be unproductive if they flow or things like people related to the questions they have already answered,” the executive wrote.
In other comments viewed by BI, some flawed employees expressed concern about recent changes in content moderation.
One employee criticized what they called the silence of leadership in “transphobic/homophobic politics”. Another asked where employees could express criticism if internal discussions were discouraged. A third employee said the situation was making Meta a “more hostile place to work”.
Meta has faced constant internal opposition in response to Zuckerberg’s January announcement that it will shorten “low interpreters” and recent policy changes. Some employees recently questioned the abolition of the company for posts posts, with an employee describing it as a “free speech issue”.
A Meta spokesman refused to comment.
