Facebook’s toxic work culture and performance review system
This is why I left. Never got good at the people / politics thing and was exhausted from stress after almost 4 years of being there. Uber is more upfront as a culture right now and we openly talk about what went wrong and how we want to fix the problems. We have work to do still but everyday is not as stressful. Facebook thinks they are perfect so you have to pretend that everything is great no matter how miserable you are. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnbc.com/amp/2019/01/08/facebook-culture-cult-performance-review-process-blamed.html @facebook @uber
if those guys didn’t smell they would have been piped
OP, do you think Facebook will learn like Uber and ultimately improve the culture? I see so many FB employees posting on Blind that they’re miserable but staying for the $. IMO, other companies pay competitively [enough] and a toxic culture isn’t worth the extra TC. I’ve turned down offers for more TC from LinkedIn and FB during my 7+ year tenure at Salesforce because of culture and management team.
Damn, published right on time as the cycle just closed yesterday. Very good timing. But I have always been told that there’s not a forced curve?
The article forgot to mention that the system rewards bullshitters and brown nosers who thrive on fake perception without actually doing any meaningful work.
Sounds like the same shit in most tech companies. Name one that doesn’t do this?
Does google have forced curve fitting ?
Finance has been like this for 40 years now and they have been able to get good people join for ever, bec they pay well enough. As long as FB pays great, employees will take shit like this and play the game. If you have a 3M mortgage, 2 kids in private school and want to go to St Bart’s for summer vacation you better smile and look excited when your boss is talking to you.
Lol right on buddy
TC?
More than what FB was paying me... way more
Okay. I need to start preparing
