Meta used AI to tag workers who took leave to be laid off, lawsuit claims

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.
