Morale within Meta is one of the worst in recent years, especially due to the wave of layoffs and spending cuts led by Mark Zuckerberg .
Only 26% of Meta workers trust the leadership of Mark Zuckerberg , a report by The Washington Post has found.
The medium’s survey, carried out between April 26 and May 10, is a reflection of the low morale that currently exists in the social media company, which has had a 2023 with great internal controversies.
Distrust
According to the Post, the survey reveals that there is a 5% drop between the results of this occasion with those of October 2022.
Currently, 43% of employees answered that they do feel valued in the company, compared to 58% in October.
This feeling is due to the multiple rounds of layoffs that Meta is carrying out in the so-called “year of efficiency” . Everyone fears losing their jobs like the more than 20,000 people who have been victims of these massive layoffs.
Likewise, Zuckerberg is now changing the plans with the work modality, giving preference to face-to-face and inviting (or forcing) everyone to comply with said order .

increased responsibilities
The remaining employees must now take on more responsibilities and get used to the new managers, the Post reported, citing four current and former employees.
The company is also losing a lot of money for supporting the construction of the metaverse, a goal that it is even pausing to fight in the adoption of artificial intelligence . This change in management has also caused doubts among employees about Zuckerberg’s leadership abilities.
Despite this, investors seem happy with the cuts and changes in the company, since the shares are up 112% so far in 2023.
