Mark Zuckerberg, co-founder and CEO of Facebook parent Meta, has pointed to internal data analysis that suggests engineers who initially joined the company in an in-person capacity performed better than those who joined remotely from the get-go. He also suggested that younger engineers, or more accurately those who are “earlier in their career,” perform better when they work with colleagues in-person for at least three days each week. The insights stem from a memo sent to employees earlier today, in which Zuckerberg revealed the company was cutting another 10,000 jobs . Aside from announcing the fresh round of layoffs, Zuckerberg delved into a number of ways the company was looking to improve efficiency, such as cancelling “lower priority projects” and creating a flatter organizational structure by removing various management layers. However, the fact that Meta is aligning performance and remote working data tells us a little bit about how the powers at Facebook Towers are currently thinking about the whole remote-working kit and caboodle, with Zuckerberg opining that “in-person time helps build relationships and get more done.” Remote control Remote work is one of the legacies of the global pandemic, and Meta — as with most other companies — was forced to embrace it faster than it otherwise would have. Speaking in May 2020 , Zuckerberg said Meta (then called Facebook) was going to be the “most forward-leaning company on remote work at our scale,” and to this day its careers page spotlights its mission to build a “distributed-first future.” Throw into the mix the fact that Meta is actively shrinking its real estate footprint and its burgeoning metaverse ambitions that would undoubtedly benefit from a more distributed workforce , and it would seem that Meta has little intention of abandoning its recent remote-work embrace. However, Meta does want to get people back into the office just a little more often. Pointing to “early analysis” of internal performance data, Zuckerberg said that engineers who started out at Meta in a fully in-person capacity before transitioning to a remote role, as well as those who have always remained in an in-person role, “performed better on average than people who joined remotely.” “This analysis also shows that engineers earlier in their career perform better on average when they work in-person with teammates at least three days a week,” Zuckerberg said.
