Company finally uses a qualitative test to make lay-off decisions and gets torn apart on the details unlike the companies that use badge photos to rate employees.
>Mr Saleh’s evidence was that 35 of the 100 posts did not load when he attempted the test.
>He also took issue with the fact that the test was based on TikTok’s rules for the English-language market, which were different to the rules for the Middle East and North Africa where he had primarily worked.
If you're going to do a test, you should probably make sure it works and that it's relevant.
'primarily worked'. If he was also covering the other market he needs to know those rules - he was in a supervisor role. The company is still at fault for the bad implementation though.
The problem is that 50% of staff not knowing the company's moderation rules points to a systemic problem with internal training, not a problem with the staff themselves.
Cynically, I suspect that they wanted to cut staffing costs by 50% and this was seen as an easy way to justify it without going through a consultation process.
In what sense do you need to be cynical to believe the purpose in testing employees and then keeping the 50% of staff that did best when reducing staff was for the reduction of staff?
