Mark Zuckerberg warns staff Facebook will be ‘turning up the heat’ to weed out underperformers: ‘You might decide this place isn’t for you, and that’s OK with me’
In addition to the hiring freeze, Zuckerberg also noted the company was leaving some vacant positions at the company unfilled and “turning up the heat” on performance management to weed out staffers who are unable to meet certain KPIs.

"Realistically, there are probably a bunch of people at the company who shouldn't be here," Zuckerberg said, adding, “Part of my hope by raising expectations and having more aggressive goals, and just kind of turning up the heat a little bit, is that I think some of you might decide that this place isn't for you, and that self-selection is OK with me."

Options for weeding apparently are to include out include £competitive team exercises" as well as self selective goal mechanisms. Those who are unwilling to participate in self selection goals will be assigned competitive tasks which will include enhanced time keeping procedures and group exercises modelled on traditional sports date including sack racing. Facebook declined to comment on the document when approached but an insider confirmed that an additional town hall update stated that Mark was "willing to participate in sack racing" and that "the primary purpose was not solely headcount reduction but also team building."
