Sina Technology News Beijing time
on September 19 morning news, according to reports, Meta said that they will
pilot a "new work experience", let employees book desks before
arriving at the office. Employees criticized the company's plan to introduce rotating
desks in offices.
Meta employees reportedly objected
to its plan to rotate desks in its internal environment, with one calling it
"cheesy." Other employees said it was "dishonest" to frame
the program as a new experience.
Many large companies use rotating
desks to save office space and costs, but that means most employees don't have
a fixed workstation.
"Can we stop calling this
useless cost cutting," one Meta employee reportedly wrote. "Nobody's
going to buy into this new experience." Others said the statement Seems to
treat employees like children.
Some employees reportedly said they
would come to the office less often because they would have to book a desk and
get it set up. One of them said the planned move showed management was
"completely out of touch with reality".
Another employee wrote: "I
swear to god it's so Meta to swap a useful thing for a bad, unusable substitute
and then force everyone to move."
Other Meta employees pointed out
that other companies are also using the desk rotation system, and once
implemented, it can be managed.
Meta has already taken steps to cut
costs this year. The company told employees in May that it was delaying hiring
due to "lower-than-expected revenue growth."
Facebook founder and CEO Mark
Zuckerberg told employees in July that he would "intensify efforts"
to meet performance goals, reduce headcount and weed out underperforming
employees.
Meta had no immediate comment.
