At Meta, Taking Medical/Maternity Leave and Getting Laid Off by AI in the Blink of an Eye??

In the U.S., 26 current and former Meta employees have filed a lawsuit, alleging the company used an AI system to disproportionately select employees on legally protected leave—such as medical, parental, or disability accommodation—for recent layoffs. The 71-page complaint details cases where individuals, including one who received her termination email while on approved prenatal leave just days before giving birth, were reportedly chosen by an algorithmic "constellation" of tools. This system, which included performance metrics, activity monitoring, and AI usage dashboards, allegedly failed to account for periods of approved absence, interpreting leave as low productivity. Despite Meta's record revenue and massive planned AI investments, it announced layoffs affecting roughly 10% of its workforce. The plaintiffs seek a preliminary injunction to halt the layoffs and an independent audit of the AI selection process. Meta has denied the claims, stating personnel decisions are made by humans, not AI.

6,000 CEOs Admit AI 'Did Nothing', Yet It Was Used to Lay Off 40,000 People in Q1 This Year

A study by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) surveying 6000 executives across four countries reveals that nearly 90% of businesses report AI has had "no measurable impact" on employment or productivity over the past three years. Despite global AI investments exceeding $250 billion in 2024, only 12% of CEOs reported both cost reductions and revenue growth from AI. Contrastingly, in Q1 2026, the industry saw 78,557 tech job cuts, with 47.9% attributed to AI and automation. Critics label this contradiction an "AI version of the Solow Paradox," referencing the visible lack of AI's effect in productivity data amid widespread adoption. While some leaders, like Anthropic’s CEO, predict AI will eliminate half of entry-level white-collar jobs, others accuse firms of "AI washing"—using AI as a pretext for layoffs originally planned due to over-hiring or weak demand. However, companies like IBM and Cognizant are bucking the trend by increasing entry-level hiring and retraining staff to work alongside AI. Economists suggest a "J-curve" effect may be underway, where initial productivity stagnation is followed by significant gains, as was seen with IT in the 1990s. The transition remains challenging, with true productivity improvements expected within 6–12 months.

Amid the AI Layoff Wave, OpenAI Opens "Iron Rice Bowl" for Salespeople

Amid widespread AI-driven layoffs across the tech industry—with companies like Block, Pinterest, and Dow Chemical cutting thousands of jobs—OpenAI is expanding its workforce by hiring 3,500 new employees, primarily in sales, partnership management, and technical ambassador roles. While AI is replacing standardized, task-based jobs (e.g., coding, customer service), OpenAI’s recruitment focuses on roles that require human interaction: convincing enterprise clients to adopt AI, integrating systems, and providing tailored solutions. Despite ChatGPT’s massive user base, monetization remains challenging, with significant losses per user. Enterprise clients, crucial for profitability, are increasingly choosing competitors like Anthropic’s Claude. OpenAI’s shift reflects a broader trend: AI excels at clearly defined tasks but struggles with ambiguous, relationship-driven work like sales and customization. The company is even exploring partnerships with private equity firms to support AI implementation. The key differentiator between replaced and valued roles is whether the job can be easily described—if so, it’s vulnerable to AI automation. Roles requiring nuanced, human-driven problem-solving remain in demand.

The First Batch of Big Tech Employees Laid Off by AI Have Returned to Their Posts

The first wave of employees laid off by major tech companies, citing AI as the reason, are already being rehired. In late February, Block, led by Jack Dorsey, laid off over 4,000 employees, reducing its workforce from 10,000 to under 6,000, with Dorsey stating that "AI tools changed everything." However, within a month, some of those laid off began receiving offers to return. Reports indicate rehires occurred in departments like engineering and HR, with reasons ranging from "clerical errors" in termination to managers advocating for their return. The article argues that replacing humans with AI is often more cost-effective. For instance, enterprise-level AI can be expensive in terms of token usage, and training a reliable AI system, such as for customer service, may exceed the cost of human employee salaries. Examples like Klarna, which rehired客服 after initially replacing them with AI, support this. Additionally, the "Jevons Paradox" suggests that AI-driven efficiency gains don’t necessarily reduce workloads but may increase demands on remaining employees, adding to their burden. The piece criticizes companies using AI as a pretext for layoffs, arguing that AI cannot replace human organizational dynamics or strategic roles. Nvidia’s Jensen Huang is quoted condemning leaders who裁员 instead of leveraging AI for expansion. Ultimately, AI serves as a convenient excuse for cost-cutting, but its limitations and the essential role of humans in organizations mean that some layoffs are reversed when key roles are affected. The trend reflects broader issues of corporate strategy and management rather than a true AI takeover.
