Zuckerberg dismissed 5% of the goal template “for low performance”. His former employees say there is another reason

by

In the same way as It is not the same to resign That they fire you (although the result is that you are left without employment), it is not the same as they fire you For a staff cut that for “low performance”. Goal, ha 5% of its workforcearguing that they were low performance employees. However, this public justification has enraged the 3,600 meta -employed since they stigmatizes them as bad workers when they apply for new jobs. The former employees say that their work performance has only been an excuse, but not the real reason for their dismissal. A “cruel” trick to cut staff. “I have decided to raise the level of performance management and fire low performance employees more quickly,” wrote Mark Zuckerberg in the internal memorandum sent to its employees in January. Such and as he published Business InsiderThis was raising the scale of what the company considered “low performance” to put employees in the pillory who, until that moment, considered that they had a good performance. Sally Maitlis, a professor of organizational behavior and leadership at Saïd Business School, assured to Fortune That the “low performance” label could be a ballast for the professional career of the former employees dismissed, doubly penalizing them with the loss of their employment and closing the door to find a new one. “It is a terrible way of being labeled and is clearly not useful for anyone in the labor market,” Maitlis said. They have shouted the four winds. Before such injustice for them, employees have not hesitated to raise their voice from social networks to claim their professionalism and denounce the bad faith that, according to them, has used a goal in their dismissal. “Today they have fired me, but not for being a low performance employee. Let’s be clear: that label is misleading and, for many of us, it is totally wrong,” ” published on his LinkedIn account Steven S, former product of Instagram product. Kaila Curry, who worked as a content manager, said in her LinkedIn profile that: “I often asked for comments and they always told me that I was doing a good job. They never assigned a PIP (performance improvement plan), they never gave me correction indications and never guided me or gave me clear expectations. I just struggled … I am not a person of low performance.” A mortgaged future. The main complaint of the employees focuses on the argument that has publicly wielded a goal to justify the dismissal of the 3,600 employees since, as they argue, it harms their options for free to get a new job. “The most difficult thing is that goal says publicly that they are cutting low yields, so it feels as if we had the scarlet letter on our backs. People need to know that we do not have low performance,” declared one of the employees dismissed to Business Insider. “It is possible that these people are superstar in other places. Therefore, it seems to me that it is an additional punishment because they are people who probably have a very high market value,” He pointed out to Fortune Dan Cable, Professor of Organizational Behavior at the London Business School. Employers are answering. One of the most recurring advice when running for a new job is not criticizing the company that has just fired you. However, against any forecast, the strategy of the finishing targets has had a positive impact. Many recruiters and companies have shown interest in the profiles of the target employees. “Good employers look for people who are good communicators, capable of defending themselves, just as they would in their position within the organization,” He stood out to Business Insider Ashley Herd, Recruitment Expert from LinkedIn and founder of a manager recruitment company. “Those who speak of course can be found, being realistic, with a smaller group of possible employers, but it will be a group that really aligns with their values ​​and supports professional success and long -term happiness,” said the expert. Now stigma is target. Mark Zuckerberg said the layoffs were not due to economic difficulties, but to a restructuring to focus on the IA development And, in fact, vacancies had opened to incorporate into this new profile. Since the hiring process is a relationship of two, the complaints expressed in social networks by their ex -employed can complicate that process. User forums as Reddit or Teamblind have filled the new candidates about the new goal policy with warnings. “It seems that it was more money than performance. Be careful to join this company. Zuck does not care about its employees. Only the company,” wrote A meta -employed. “Meta is now the most cruel technological company that exists,” added another former partner. Other great technological companies Like Microsoft or Amazon have already announced that they will take more into account the performance of their employees when signing their layoffs.

More and more countries in the world are painting their colored roads. The goal is the same: reduce accidents

by

A road with a huge red line. Another with a green line that shines in the dark. Stripes to the sides, circles in the curves and even pedestrian crossings that have become murals. The fight to contain traffic accidents is living its own fever: the fever of painting roads and streets. And it makes a lot of sense. Really It’s about deceiving our brain. When a driver or motorist perceives that it circulates through a narrower step, he lifts his foot from the accelerator instinctively. The same happens if you approach a crossing where the entire ground has been painted to get attention. It is obvious that this narrowing does not exist. Everything is in our mind. It is proven that a vertical signal does not generate the same perception of risk as road paint. Simply because a signal is easy to ignore it but when the view detects that the ground has a lower “free” surface a signal is sent to the brain that perceives a greater risk and the driver decreases speed. The samples are multiple and are being tested with them worldwide. Of course, Spain is also doing its own tests. A generalized illusion It doesn’t matter if we talk about Spain or any other place in the world. The human being behaves the same in Scotland, the United States, Malaysia or Andalusia. We have the test that in all these places solutions are sought to a recurring problem with an equally recurring mechanism: paint the soil. Within the cities The most striking cases are found in countries where urban distribution is designed for the car (United States) or where a road crosses a town (France). Nor are the evidence in school environments or small populations where it is common to cross walking (Spain). The first example is not only a test. As rescued in BloombergNew York City implemented Asphalt Art Initiativea project to draw large murals at conflicting crosses in the city. The results have been striking, before launching the project, 50% of the pedestrians who had suffered an outrage had suffered injuries. Painting the soil, the vehicles circulated more slowly and the percentage of pedestrians that referred injuries after an outrage had been reduced to 37%. Dragon teeth on a Madrid school Reducing the speed at which it circulates is especially important in these cases, The DGT He points out that at 30 km/h, the possibility of dying in an outrage is 10% but that at 50 km/h, the risk increases to 80%. That is why the measures taken with the educational centers where in recent years have grown up of those known as “Dragon teeth” They aspire to generate the sensation of narrowing in the streets. In Spain we have other cases. El Campillo, municipality located 70 kilometers from Huelva, He is studying If painting on zebra crossings that generate a 3D perspective It can help reduce drivers. It is not a new idea, much less, it is something that has also been tested in Iceland and USA. Of course, in the latter case they received criticism from the Federal Highway Administrationwho claimed that it was simply a false security sensation for pedestrians but doubted their direct impact on specific cases. Criticism focuses on that, really, there is nothing that really prevents the driver from continuing to circulate at a high speed. However, in France they have another idea. Tired that Beuné’s journey (a town located near Angers, west of the country) was taken as a real highway, the neighbors decided to paint the streets of the municipality. And the results were positive … at least As far as your perception is concerned because they recognized not having data from whether drivers had really reduced speed. Click on the image to go to the original publication More slowly Getting drivers to raise their foot from the accelerator when passing through a town is one of the biggest problems with which a town can fight. Especially if, as in the case of This Italian peopleit is the road that starts in two the municipality. In that case, Acchetico, a town of just over 100 inhabitants, ended up installing a radar that sanctioned 58,000 drivers in 10 days. It was a desperate measure. In Spain, work has also been worked on the secondary roads, although otherwise. In recent years, those painted on the ground that generate the feeling that the lane is narrowed before reaching a town have been popularized. It is exactly the same that is used in the streets of the School Centers although in this case they are at the entrance of some municipalities such as Nava de Roa (Burgos). It is only one of the examples that the DGT has launched in recent years. In northern Madrid, road marks such as implemented in Catalonia where some circles located in the line that divides the two lanes helps the bikers draw the curves safely and remove some gas in their path. It is a pilot test that has also been implemented in other places such as Austria. In the latter case they affirm that the simple road marks of the soil has an immediate effect in the perception of the motorist. With an investment of just 3,000 euros, it was estimated that the percentage of bikers who violated the norm and entered the opposite lane was 44%. Before painting the soil, 77% exceeded their lane. Specifically, the best data was reported from the Tyrol, where accidents had been reduced by 80%. Although the clearest example of recent years in Spain has been implemented by the DGT with a red line on a secondary road in Andalusia. On the A-355 road, which connects the populations of Marbella and Cártama, Traffic has painted a huge red line with the aim of reducing accidents on one of the most dangerous roads in Spain. When the road was created in 2014, a traffic of 7,000 cars was expected, today more than 20,000 vehicles are calculated daily. … Read more

So far Arm only designed chips. Now you will manufacture one for data centers, and goal will be your first big client

by

There is a lot of money invested in data centers. Maybe too much. And that is a juicy cake in which many companies want to enter. One of them is ARM, which throughout its history He had limited himself to designing chips that others then licensed and manufactured. Now they will go further, and AI is the main reason. THE FIRST CHIP ARM. As revealed In Financial TimesARM will reveal his first chip this summer. Until now, Arm had remained outside a career in which Intel, AMD, Nvidia, Qualcomm or Apple have been the protagonists, but now they want to enter that fight. Data centers in the spotlight. SoftBank, which has a majority participation in ARM, has ambitious plans in the data centers segment. It has allied with Openai and other companies for the colossal Stargate projectwhich will make them theoretically invest 500,000 million dollars in data centers in the US. And the company wants ARM to be part of that project with own chips that govern the servers of those data centers. Goal as a great first client. This chip is expected to be a CPU for servers and that it is created so that it can then be customized by companies as a goal. In FT they indicate that in fact the company of Mark Zuckerberg is already the first big client of ARM in this initiative. TSMC could be in charge of the production of chips, according to sources close to the plans. Acquisition of ampere in sight. We speak these days of the alleged advanced negotiations that They could end SoftBank buying ampere. The firm specializes precisely in the use of ARM architecture in multinuk chips Oriented to data centers. Threat to Intel and AMD. These two companies (especially Intel) and architecture X86 have always dominated the segment of servers and data centers. However, chips with ARM architecture have begun to be an interesting option, and the alleged appearance of these Arm’s own chips could further boost their market share. And Varapalo for Qualcomm. Qualcomm socate are references in our mobiles, but the company also takes time Working in chips for servers. In the last months Qualcomm and Ar had maintained a litigation that finally closed a few days agoand it is about to see what is the impact of this ARM project on the Qualcomm roadmap, which apparently He was also in negotiations with goal to provide chips for their data centers.

Goal approaches 100,000 million invested in metoverso, and has no intention of raising the foot of the accelerator

by

More than ten years have passed since Mark Zuckerberg announced the purchase of Oculus And he began to profile his idea of ​​’Metaverso‘, although the concept did not gain prominence until 2021, When Facebook, Inc. was called Platforms goal, Inc. Reality labs, the division that promotes this initiative, is on the way to burn 100,000 million dollarsand everything indicates that there is still a long way before those promises of incredible virtual worlds, where to work, play and socialize, come true. Virtual and mixed reality glasses, such as Quest Pro goal, Quest 3 goal either Apple Vision Prothey are the entrance door to this type of experience. However, these devices are not yet powerful, light and affordable to gain ground in the general public. A reflection of this reality is Tim Cook’s statements last year, when Apple’s CEO recognized that their glasses are “an early adoption product” intended for “people who want to have tomorrow’s technology.” Goal continues to burn money in metaverso Between 2014 and 2024, Meta has invested more than 80,000 million dollars in its virtual and augmented reality ambitions. The data comes from your financial ones that reflect an expense of 19,875 million dollars and a benefit of 2,146 million dollars to throughout the last year. In other words, the reality Labs division closed 2024 with losses of 17,729 million dollars. Far from lifting the accelerator’s foot, the giant of social networks remains convinced that this is the way, so he anticipates a 2025 with more investment and more losses in reality labs. Few companies in the world can afford with such long term. Meta, of course, is one of them: in 2024 he recorded net profits of 87,109 million dollars in family of apps (FOA), the segment that encompasses products and services such as Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp. Although reality labs is closely linked to metoverso, its reach goes much further. Immediately, this division is the epicenter of commercial products with relative successlike the family of target quest glasses and Ray-Ban Metadeveloped in collaboration with Essiloruxotic. But it is also the laboratory where the future of the company is being built. Last year we first saw Oriona prototype of augmented reality glasses that, According to Zuckerberg himselfit could one day replace the smartphone as we know it. At first glance, Orion glasses are more bulky and robust than the finish lines, probably due to the internal components necessary to project images. And they integrate micro LED projectorscapable of superimposing information in the real world. The idea is to use the physical environment as a canvas for 2D and 3D apps. But there is more. Reality labs is working on the powerful, light and affordable glasses that we mentioned at the beginning. And that, of course, requires a lot of work. At the visualization level, the objective is to achieve a practically indistinguishable experience of reality. But it is not enough with high resolution screens in next -generation glasses, but it is necessary develop technologies that still do not exist to adapt to the complex human visual system. In addition, projects include the exploration of new interfaces, such as electromiography based, which allow controlling devices through neuromuscular signals. As the company itself recognizes, its bet is to develop products that we will not see soon, but will reach its maximum splendor “in the next decade” It will be necessary to see if this goal is still standing with the advance of artificial intelligence (AI), a field in which Meta is investing billions and that, at some point, converges with its vision of metavers.

Man City is on the brink of elimination from the Champions League after losing to PSG

by

PARIS — Manchester City are on the brink of a humiliating exit from the Champions League after a shock defeat to Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday, and Real Madrid are no longer at risk after sweeping Salzburg. Manchester City blew a two-goal lead in a high-stakes clash between underperforming millionaires that PSG won 4-2 in Paris, and could still be eliminated alongside the English champions after the final round of matches next week. Only the top 24 in the 36-team standings will advance and Manchester City, the 2023 champions, will start in 25th place needing to beat Club Brugge to enter the elimination round. PSG, now in 22nd place, will play at Stuttgart, which is in 24th place. Reigning champions Real Madrid are safe, rising from 22nd place at the start of Wednesday to 16th place after thrashing Salzburg 5-1. Arsenal and Inter Milan earned expected wins to move up to third and fourth place respectively, although they are still unsure of joining Liverpool and Barcelona in advancing directly to the round of 16. Arsenal beat Dinamo Zagreb 3-0 and Inter won 1-0 at Sparta Prague. Bayern Munich was defeated 3-0 at Feyenoord, with a pair of goals from the Mexican Santi Giménez, and dropped to 15th place in the mid-table tangle of historic clubs—including Madrid and Juventus—that run the risk of facing each other in the elimination rounds in February. Every question of qualification and elimination will be decided in a likely frantic eighth and final round of matches next Wednesday. All 36 teams will be in action in 18 matches that will begin at the same time, with only the first 24 advancing to the elimination phase. Manchester City looked set to bring PSG closer to elimination by taking a two-goal lead early in the second half. Jack Grealish, a half-time substitute, scored in the 50th minute and then set up Erling Haaland for a second four minutes later. Within six remarkable minutes, PSG were level, with goals from Ousmane Dembele and Bradley Barcola, and a stunning comeback was completed in the 78th when Joao Neves headed the decisive goal. Goncalo Ramos added a fourth in stoppage time. AC Milan quietly climbed to sixth place with a 1-0 win against Girona at the San Siro, and Celtic advanced by winning 1-0 against Young Boys, who lost a seventh game in a row. Sporting Lisbon faces possible elimination next week after losing 2-1 to Leipzig, ending a six-match losing streak, and Shakhtar Donetsk stayed in contention – just barely – with a 2-0 win against the emerging Brest, which will be in the elimination phase. ___ This story was translated from English by an AP editor with the help of a generative artificial intelligence tool.

Vinícius reaches 100 goals for Real Madrid as the club advances in the Champions League

by

MADRID — Vinicius Júnior reached 100 goals for Real Madrid on Wednesday in the team’s 5-1 victory over Salzburg, securing a playoff spot after a slow start in the Champions League. The Brazilian scored his 99th and 100th goals, according to UEFA, placing him in third place among his country’s top scorers in the Champions League with 28 in the competition. Neymar leads with 43, followed by Kaká with 30. The Merengue team reported that Vinicius had reached 101 goals for the club. Spanish media indicated that the discrepancy dates back to a goal in La Liga that many considered an own goal and therefore should not count as scored by the South American forward. “I am very happy to be able to reach 100 goals with this shirt. Now I am only three behind Ronaldo, the Brazilian with the most goals for Madrid. I hope I can continue like this and score many goals to mark an era in this team, which is my dream,” Vinicius declared. “The goals are making me a better player. At first here I didn’t score many goals, but now I can have a bad game but still score two goals, and it’s a good habit!” Madrid, the defending champion and top title winner with 15, had lost three of its first six games in the new Champions League format and was at risk of elimination. The victory moved Madrid to 16th place in the 36-team league stage of the competition. Rodrygo also scored twice for the Merengue team, and Kylian Mbappé added another goal after a mistake by Salzburg goalkeeper Janis Blaswich. Brazilian Rodrygo has scored five goals in his last four games, while Vinicius has three in his two most recent games. Mbappé also scored five goals in his last four games. Jude Bellingham set up one of Vinicius’ goals with a clever backheel. The white team next visits the French club Brest.
