Meta’s chief technology officer just said something you almost never hear from a C-suite executive at a trillion-dollar company: morale is basically in the gutter.
Andrew “Boz” Bosworth disclosed during an internal chat on June 2 that employee sentiment at Meta is near the lowest it has been in the company’s roughly two-decade existence. The only time it was worse, according to Bosworth, was during the Cambridge Analytica scandal, a period when Meta was being publicly pilloried for enabling the harvesting of millions of users’ personal data.
What happened inside Meta
In May, Meta cut approximately 8,000 employees, roughly 10% of its global workforce, as part of an aggressive restructuring designed to funnel resources toward artificial intelligence.
Bosworth himself described the AI reorganization as “atrocious” in internal communications.
