Not to discount the evil of targeting workers who used the leave they literally are entitled to, but it's also SO lazy to use an AI to generate a list of what's essentially just a RETURN statement from a payroll database. Boo on both counts!

Being on a slack channel for victims of another big tech company's layoffs, I can say for certain that Meta is not the only one laying off a suspiciously large number of people during maternity leave.

If these allegations are true, this isn’t AI making better decisions. It’s AI scaling discrimination. Automating layoffs doesn’t remove bias if the data or incentives are flawed. Companies should never be allowed to hide behind an algorithm when people’s livelihoods and legal rights are at stake.

He could be replaced with AI and AI would def do a better job. He's not only evil, but he keeps trying to do new markets that absolutely suck: Legless Universe, Creep Glasses, Spy on everyone and propagandize them in a closed, addicting environment. Okay, that last one has been really successful.

You need an AI to sort a database of employees by vacation time used? The news is making people more stupid than anything else on this planet.

Sounds like a single spreadsheet would have done the job.

Wouldnt it be funny if it added a bunch of fake names to pad the list?

Woah, that sounds illegal as hell.

This is "Lines of code = productivity" levels of stupid and lazy. I want to work with people who are well rested, not ones who run themselves ragged and are always on the verge of burnout.

Maybe Meta has to payout unused vacation time and laying off someone who used vacation time is cheaper than someone who has a lot of vacation time? Still be dumb but not surprising if the only measurement they're going off of is $.

Anyone working for meta at this point knows what's up and deserves no sympathy for their business bullshit
