Actually, a lot of the employees at the company definitely shouldn't be there, according to Zuckerberg. I think some of you might decide that this place isn't for you, and that self-selection is OK with me, so that's part of my hope for raising expectations, having more aggressive goals, and just sort of turning up the heat a little bit," he was cited by Reuters as saying.

Chris Cox, the chief product officer of Meta, recommended in a message that the business run leaner, meaner, and better-executing teams.

We must perform flawlessly in a slower-growth environment where teams shouldn't anticipate massive influxes of new engineers and funding, "Cox said.


The largest social network firm in the world, Meta, had a loss in daily active users recorded by Facebook this year, which caused Meta to lose approximately half of its market value.
