According to a Wired report, during an internal Meta video conference attended by thousands of employees in early June, an attendee interrupted a speaking colleague with profanities, saying "The company treats us like dogs" and referring to an AI-responsible executive as "a piece of sh*t." Some attendees covered their faces, and the organizer had to ask everyone to mute. The article describes a cycle at Meta where the CEO fully promotes a high-stakes new project, which then stalls, causing the company and employees to pay the price. This cycle occurred with the metaverse and is now repeating with AI. Employees angered by massive layoffs and forced transfers to the AI application department previously complained on anonymous apps, but now gossip on Blind includes that "Meta will lay off 8,000 employees in November." The newly established AI application department forced employees across the company to transfer, where they could only do labor-intensive, low-skill jobs: setting questions for AI, grading, and doing basic training.
