Meta\u2019s chief technology officer, Andrew Bosworth admitted in a memo to employees that the company did an \u2018atrocious\u2019 job by rolling out its new Applied AI division, as reported by Wired. The unit, which was formed in March this year with 6,500 engineers and product managers, was meant to accelerate Meta\u2019s generative AI projects. Instead, workers descend the transition as chaotic, with some calling it \u2018a gulag\u2019. Bosworth added that the company undermined trust by failing to explain the vision clearly by destabilising teams via rapid restructuring. The report further added that Bosworth pledged to rekindle a more cheerful internal culture by improving communication, career growth opportunities, and even office perks. Managers will be capped at 20 direct reports, employees will have access to \u201cAI coaching\u201d tools, and Meta will invest in microkitchens, travel budgets, and social events to boost morale. \u201cI hope we can rekindle the best of the culture we joined,\u201d Bosworth wrote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
