Meta sued over AI-assisted layoffs; employees on maternity, medical leave allege bias
Meta’s latest layoff round has triggered a fresh legal fight, with 26 employees alleging the company relied on AI and automated performance systems that unfairly disadvantaged workers on medical, parental and family leave.
The lawsuit, filed in a federal court in Oakland, California, comes after Meta announced plans in May to eliminate around 8,000 jobs, roughly 10% of its global workforce.
