Days after Meta CTO admitted that morale at the company is near "worst it’s ever been", company makes U-turn on two employee policies that caused backlash
Meta has reversed its controversial policy forcing engineers into an AI task force, allowing employees personal choice after widespread backlash. This move follows recent mass layoffs and an AI reorganisation that sparked unrest. The company also acknowledged past mistakes in its aggressive AI push, with CTO Andrew Bosworth admitting morale is at historic lows. Concerns over an AI tracking tool have also led to its pause.
