No more Mr. Nice Zuck. The pandemic-driven era of good feelings at Meta is very much over. A new report by The Verge paints Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg as increasingly annoyed with his subordinates' inability to match his heightened sense of urgency, as the Facebook and Instagram parent pivots to the so-called metaverse and TikTok continues to eat into its social media market share. Zuckerberg and his leadership team have grown more blunt with staffers about their lack of tolerance for lower-performers, epitomized by a previously reported June 30 all-hands call. New details from that call, along with interviews of current and former employees in recent weeks, show the extent of Zuckerberg's irritation.
