An employee survey conducted by Meta has found that only 26 per cent of the staffers have expressed confidence in the leadership, a five per cent drop from the tally in October last year.
This comes as the employees continue to deal with the after-effects of the mass layoffs the company carried out since last year. Several employees have reportedly spent weeks sharing responsibilities from their colleagues who left the company after being laid out. The remaining employees are reportedly trying to figure out while being used to new managers, a Washington Post report stated.
As of now, the job cuts totalling more than 21,000 have hurt the morale of employees. As per the survey, 43 per cent of the employees said they felt valued in the organisation, which is a 15 point drop.

According to the Washington Post report, senior leaders were asked to ‘reimagine’ the organisational charts of their divisions by prioritising roles, products and projects. The employees said that some internal systems and priorities had become more confusing as nearly a quarter of workforce has been laid off.
