Zuckerberg's bold plan to replace Meta employees with AI has imploded
Meta explored 60% team cuts in two waves before staff revolt forced a retreat
A hot potato: Meta set out to reorganize much of its workforce around AI at the beginning of this year, betting that agents could help the company move faster while reducing the need for larger teams.

Connecting the dots: Generative AI has been blamed for hundreds of thousands of layoffs over the past year, but evidence that companies moved too quickly to automate white-collar jobs is steadily mounting. Multiple recent studies suggest that many employers are refilling recently eliminated positions after overestimating AI's productivity gains and cost savings.
