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.
