Meta to ask many managers to become individual contributors or leave
I think this really shows how much Meta has changed. It's not the tech-first startup company it once was. It's become just another generic big company at this point. The only reason they would be asking managers to become ICs is if they fired too many ICs and didn't fire enough managers, and now the ratio is skewed. Why would they do that? Because they're a typical company and they see managers as "super-employees" who are smarter, faster, better than their underlings, and so can easily do their work.
