Njengoba iMeta isebenza ngayo ukudilizwa kwenqwaba yesibili esikhathini esingaphansi kwezinyanga eziyisithupha, sekuqubuke igagasi lokungabaza nokukhungatheka kubasebenzi bale nkampani ngobuholi bayo kanye nokuqondiswa kwayo ngaphansi kwe-CEO uMark Zuckerberg. Abanye abasebenzi abasele bafuna imisebenzi emisha, kanti abanye bayazibuza ukuthi ikusasa labo enkampanini libukeka kanjani.
“Wonke umuntu [of] thina [is] isemaphethelweni manje,” kusho omunye umsebenzi okhona ongathandanga ukudalulwa igama ngoba bengagunyaziwe ukukhuluma ngerekhodi. “Kuningi kakhulu kunangaphambili.”
Ukudilizwa kuleli sonto kwengeza emisebenzini engu-11,000 ikhishwe ngoNovemba nge-Meta, okuzohlanganisa inani labantu ababalelwa ku-66,000. Lezi zinyathelo zilandela ukwehla okukhulu kwenzuzo yenkampani, okwenza imali yayo eningi isuke ekukhangiseni kwedijithali.
“Ngonyaka odlule, bekungunyaka onenselelo enkulu kakhulu kuMeta njengenkampani yomphakathi,” kusho uJasmine Enberg, umhlaziyi oyinhloko ohlanganisa inkundla yezokuxhumana ye-Insider Intelligence. “Umnotho uphazamise ibhizinisi lawo lezikhangiso, bekukhona [Apple] Izinguquko ze-IOS ezidale ukuthi abakhangisi basebenzise imali ehlukahlukene futhi kwanda ukuncintisana ngamabhola wamehlo.”
Ukwengeza ezinseleleni, iMeta iya ngokuya ibhekana nokuncintisana ngamadola okumaketha kanye nabasebenzisi abavela ezimbangini ezisafufusa, njengenethiwekhi yevidiyo yefomu elifushane iTikTok. Futhi yenze ukugembula okukhulu ku-“i-metaverse,” igama elisetshenziselwa ukuchaza izindawo zedijithali ezigxilile ezifinyelelwa ngokoqobo okungathandwa kwabathelisi esikubona, okusazokhokha.
IWashington Post ngaphambili kubika ukuthi inkampani yayihlela ukusikeka. Futhi yize uZuckerberg eveze ukuthi kusazoncipha okuningi – iMeta yabiza u-2023 ngokuthi “unyaka wokusebenza kahle” — Imibiko yabezindaba echaza ngezinhlelo zangaphakathi isidale igagasi lokukhathazeka nentukuthelo kubasebenzi bale nkampani, ngokusho kwabantu okungenani abayingxenye yeshumi abajwayelene nalolu daba, abakhulume ngokungadalulwa ukuze baxoxe ngezindaba zangaphakathi.
“Ngicabanga ukukhathazeka nokungazi [the specifics about the looming cuts] kodwa ukufunda okungaka kwaba nokuqagela kwafinyelela kubantu,” kusho omunye umsebenzi. “Abanye sebehambile noma [are] ukuhlela.”
Ukudilizwa kwakamuva kwe-Meta kuyingxenye yegagasi elikhulu lokuncipha embonini yezobuchwepheshe, enciphise amashumi ezinkulungwane zemisebenzi onyakeni odlule. Ngemuva kwesikhathi eside sempumelelo yezomnotho ebonakala ingenakuvinjwa, i-Google ne-Amazon ziphakathi kwamanye amapulatifomu amakhulu e-inthanethi anciphise abasebenzi babo. Umphumela usho ukuthi imakethe yezemisebenzi yemboni igcwele amathalente, ikakhulukazi izisebenzi ebezisebenza ngaphandle kwezobunjiniyela.
Ngaphakathi kweMeta abaphathi bezabasebenzi, abameli kanye nezikhulu eziphezulu bajutshwe ukuthi benze izinhlelo zokuhlela kabusha abasebenzi ezinhlakeni ezehlukene emhlabeni wonke, bahlaziye kabusha amaphrojekthi baphinde baqhamuke nohlu lwemisebenzi okumele bayinciphise ngokusho komuntu onolwazi ngalolu daba. Izinhlelo zabo ziphinde zahlanganisa nokuphushela abaphathi abathile ezindimeni ngaphandle kwemibiko eqondile, ngaleyo ndlela kwehliswe inani lezinhlaka zobuholi emzamweni wokusheshisa ukuthathwa kwezinqumo nokunciphisa izindleko. Abanye abaphathi bazocelwa ukuthi bangamele imibiko eyengeziwe.
Emavikini asanda kwedlula, abasebenzi abaningi bashintshisane nge-intel abayithole komunye nomunye kanye “nokuvuza” okungaziwa ku-Blind, uhlelo lokusebenza lwasendaweni yokusebenza olunikeza abasebenzisi nge-imeyili ye-Facebook ukufinyelela okungavinjelwe ebhodini lemiyalezo eliyimfihlo nelingaziwa. Lesi sithangami, indawo lapho abasebenzi bamanje nabakade besebenza kwiMeta benikeza khona imibono yabo engaguquki ngendawo yabo yokusebenza, siphinde saba yindawo lapho abasebenzi bezwakalisa ukukhathazeka kwabo ngezinguquko ezizayo kanye nokukhononda ngobuholi benkampani. Abanye abasebenzi babambe iqhaza okhethweni olungakahleleki mayelana nokuthi bacabanga ukuthi yibo yini abazodilizwa, kanti abanye bavele bancenga imininingwane, ngokusho kwemiyalezo etholwe yiThe Post.
“Uma kukhona abaholi abaqashayo kulesi sithangami abanolwazi lokuthi lo mzuliswano olandelayo wokudilizwa uzonqunywa futhi wembuleke kanjani … mina kanye nabanye engisebenza nabo/abaqasha / abaqaphi / rc’s singathanda ngempela ukuzwa kuwe,” kubhala omunye ngaphambi kwesimemezelo sikaZuckerberg. ngolwesibili. “Ukucindezeleka kokungaziwa kubi kakhulu kunokukwazi ukwamukela izinto ngokuqondile futhi uqhubeke.”
Omunye umsebenzisi ubhale ukuthi bafisa ukuthi i-Meta inikeze ngokuthenga ngokuzithandela ngoba bazonikeza indawo yabo kubanikazi bama-visa kanye nalabo abanemindeni. “Anginayo imithwalo yemfanelo ukuze ngihlale ngiwuthola umsebenzi omusha lapho izinto ziba ngcono,” kubhala lo muntu.
UZuckerberg ngoLwesibili uthe uyazi ukuthi ukusikeka kanye nokuhlelwa kabusha “kuzosho ukuvalelisa kozakwethu abanekhono nabanothando abebeyingxenye yempumelelo yethu.”
Kodwa wengeza ngokuthi izinselelo zezimali ezibhekene ne-Meta, okuhlanganisa amanani enzalo aphezulu, ukungazinzi kwe-geopolitical kanye nomthetho okhulayo, kungase kube isimo sembonini eminyakeni ezayo. Ngalezo zizathu, uZuckerberg uthe, bekudingeka ukuthi kuncishiswe futhi kuhlelwe kabusha abasebenzi benkampani ukuze ibe yibhizinisi elilula, elisebenza kahle futhi eliphumelele kakhulu.
“Ukuqhuba ibhizinisi lethu ngokuphumelelayo kuzosinika izinsiza kanye nokuzethemba ukuze sifinyelele umbono wethu wesikhathi eside ngokuletha imiphumela esimeme yezezimali esenza sibe inkampani ekhangayo ukusebenza nokutshala imali kuyo,” ebhala.
Noma kunjalo, izisebenzi eziningi zisola izinkinga zezezimali zenkampani kanye nenqubo yokudilizwa ebangela ukukhathazeka ngokwengxenye ebuholini bukaZuckerberg, oyisikhulu esiphezulu senkampani nosihlalo, futhi olawula amandla okuvota ebhodi.
Abanye bathi ubuholi obuphezulu benkampani bebungatshala imali engcono ukuze bathole inzuzo enkulu noma bagweme umcabango ogcwele ithemba wokuqasha oholele kulokhu kuncipha kwasekuqaleni. Abanye abasebenzi basole inkampani ngokungaphumeleli ngezinguquko ezizayo.
“Ekugcineni, leli iphutha lakhe,” kusho esinye isisebenzi lapho sixoxa noZuckerberg. “Ujoyina le nkampani wazi ukuthi leli ithoyizi lakhe lokudlala.”
