Meta is expected to lay off 8,000 employees (10% of its global workforce) on May 20, while implementing an AI usage leaderboard to track employees' daily token counts; to avoid being flagged, employees have started asking AI nonsense questions to inflate their numbers. (Context: Zuckerberg in trouble? Meta antitrust trial begins, FTC seeks forced sale of Instagram and WhatsApp) (Background: AI frenzy bubble, analysts explain "how to short it if you really want to") The layoffs account for approximately 10% of the global workforce. The timing of these layoffs coincides perfectly with the company's push to force employees to embrace AI. Since 2026, the global tech industry has seen over 100,000 layoffs. Meta is also expected to initiate its first wave of 8,000 layoffs on May 20. According to reports, Meta has an AI usage leaderboard that tracks the number of tokens and conversation time for each employee. The logic behind this design is to make employees "accustomed to working with AI." During an all-hands meeting, an HR executive assured Zuckerberg: "AI usage will not be a basis for layoffs." However, these numbers are still being tracked and publicly ranked, and the rational response from employees is: gaming the numbers. One employee admitted that they sometimes intentionally ask AI boring questions, not to get answers, but to keep their ranking from looking too bad. In any KPI management framework, this behavior is a predictable outcome. When tracking becomes a system, optimizing for that tracking becomes the rational choice. The company quantified "using AI," and employees quantified their compliance. Compliance, but not belief. Even more bizarrely, an employee posted a proposal on Meta's internal forum: if you can fully automate your own responsibilities, the company should provide five years of salary compensation before laying you off. This proposal received significant support; it is not sarcasm, but a genuine demand. Employees hope to at least put a price on the process of being replaced, giving self-obsolescence a fair market value... This scenario was truly unimaginable three years ago. Silicon Valley spent thirty years building the corporate culture myth that "talent is the most important asset." Now, the same companies are monitoring every keystroke of their employees and using AI to decide whose input is worth keeping.
