Meta to Layoff 10k Employees

I’m going to trust Meta’s sample size of probably thousands over your sample size of “multiple”.

I had six juniors join my team remotely and three are amazing, two are ok (do useful work but need handholding), but one is pretty bad. However I don’t know how that compares to non-remote hires so it could be that it’s worse.

I totally get that, but it’s important to look who’s providing the information. I highly doubt the analysis was independent of bias.

We know many companies want to push for back to office work and commercial landlords are bag-holding hard…

Some food for thought.

This is really not a matter of sample size.

If you want a real assessment of the problem, you will need to think about sampling, be careful about what you test, have a good amount of respect for the factors you don't know.

Nobody on this thread has done any of this, but one is a huge company messing with the lives of many people and claiming they know exactly what they are doing.
