Tracking Row Grows: Meta’s AI strategy has triggered concerns among employees over workplace monitoring and data collection. Reports said the company has started using software capable of tracking keystrokes, mouse movements and screen content to improve AI systems. More than 1,000 employees reportedly signed a petition asking the company to stop the tracking as concerns over privacy, morale and future layoffs continue to grow internally.
Morale Hits Low: Reports suggest the uncertainty around layoffs has increased anxiety among Meta employees. Some workers reportedly began taking free snacks and laptop chargers before the May 20 announcement. Employees have also posted online about declining morale and concerns about additional layoffs. Meta had confirmed the 8,000 job cuts last month after details of the restructuring were leaked in media reports.
Layoff Wave Spreads: Other technology companies have also announced major workforce reductions in recent months. Block, the fintech company behind Square, cut nearly 40 per cent of its workforce in February, citing operational changes linked to AI adoption. LinkedIn recently announced fresh layoffs, while Cisco, Microsoft and several others have also announced layoffs or voluntary exits.
