Facebook pays employees to do nothing according to the Financial Times

Facebook employees without any roadmap

A new controversy that Facebook would like to do without. The social network is in trouble right now. Users are deserting in favor of competition. Direct consequence: a massive job cut plan. Thus, 11,000 employees find themselves on the floor. A social situation that affects all tech giants. Except that, according to Financial Times, some Facebook employees do nothing and still receive their remuneration. Due to the deletion plan, the social network is currently in some disorganization. So much so that employees find themselves without any roadmap.

Therefore, without a goal or mission, it is difficult to work. The situation may seem idyllic for employees. In reality, it is rather the disarray which dominates according to the American newspaper. Fears about the medium-term future of Facebook are strong. Especially since a new redundancy plan would be in the cards. But for the moment, no official announcement from the management of the company.

A change of course

In reality, the problem is mainly internal. The deadlines for validating projects within Facebook are exploding. Previously, it took a few days to get a return. Now it takes more than a month. In this context, it is difficult to move forward on the company’s projects. At the same time, managers are redeployed to administrative tasks. Those who are not happy can leave.

But above all, the strategy of Metaverse ” put forward for months by the founder of the company Mark Zuckerberg does not take off. It is very expensive for Facebook, around one million euros per month. Problem: investors but especially users remain skeptical for the moment. Thus, a change of direction has just been announced. The work will focus more on artificial intelligence relaying the project of ” Metaverse » au second plan.
