[Meta Abandons 'AI Native' Plan, Previously Considered Cutting 60% of Certain Teams]
According to Reuters, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg had secretly devised a plan called 'Project OT,' which proposed cutting up to 60% of certain teams to build an 'AI native' workforce. However, the plan was not implemented, and the company canceled the second round of restructuring after laying off approximately 10% of staff in May. The plan included splitting teams into smaller 'pods' to reduce management layers and using AI tools to enhance efficiency, with the HR department tasked with identifying irreplaceable employees who could 'do the work of ten.' However, employees expressed dissatisfaction with internal AI project errors, monitoring measures such as tracking keyboard and mouse activity, and the inability of AI agents and coding tools to improve productivity as expected. Last month, Zuckerberg admitted that progress in AI agent technology had fallen short of expectations but expressed optimism that improvements would be seen in the next 3 to 6 months.
