Given their reputation, this is like complaining about HR in hades. Yes, working there is terrible.
This is exactly how they were terrible to you? That makes sense.
Unfortunately, a bad performance review should be a heads up to look for a new job. Sounds like that happened even before this test.

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.

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.
