Meta planned AI-driven team cuts of up to 60%

Reuters reporting says Meta planned an internal program codenamed “Project Organization Transformation” that would have reduced many teams by up to 60% in two waves, replacing work with AI agents. In May, around 10% of Meta’s workforce (nearly 8,000 employees) were laid off and another ~7,000 were moved internally into AI projects. After employee pushback, legal complaints and negative coverage, Meta cancelled the second wave and said it would not implement every scenario and pledged no further layoffs this year. The reporting also cites allegations that Meta used AI-driven tools to select employees for layoffs and employee backlash against surveillance tools such as the Model Capability Initiative.
