...how does Meta measure the lowest 5% performers?
Does it mean like they submit their assignments late and cannot meet deadlines?
Please enlighten me!

BS system and totally arbitrary as mutual recommendations drive performance decisions, in other words, you build a community of buddies that write nice things about you, with the expected quid pro quo obviously, so everybody is happy. Until one day, one guy stabs another in the back because he did not give you a thumbs up in your metaversary and sh*** hits the fan. A bunch of Kool Aid drinkers, mainly in director positions in the Infra division, ZERO project management skills, useless. That is why they are bringing contractors.
Agreed 100%. I don't work at Meta but in automotive as an Engineer. We instituted a stacked ranking last year and Senior Leaders also said the bottom 5% could be let go. Ironically direct leaders claim to know little about where folks are rated, how the process will work or be carried out. IMO it will be all about cost and cutting expensive salaries, older folks, employees that aren't well liked, etc. Has always been that way in automotive however they want to spin it. They are likely claiming it's based on performance to try and avoid lawsuits.
why do you care?

You're drinking a little too much of the Kool-Aid. It's like any other layoff. Don't fool yourself for a minute and think it's only going to be "low performers". It'll be high performers ("oh but Johnny was exceeds 2 months ago but he really went downhill quick..." sure...), expensive employees, employees of a certain age, employees that were political targets... all the usual fare, just like everyone else.
