Meta sued over AI-driven layoffs targeting workers on medical and parental leave

Meta AI layoffs discrimination lawsuit protected leave Oakland court

Twenty‑six former Meta employees have filed a lawsuit in federal court in Oakland, California, alleging that the company used an internal artificial‑intelligence system to select staff for layoffs. The complaint says Meta relied on tools such as the "Metamate" internal assistant, keystroke‑ and activity‑monitoring dashboards, and AI‑token‑usage metrics to score employees, and that those scores could not be accumulated while an employee was on protected medical, parental, pregnancy or disability leave. As a result, workers on such leave were disproportionately placed on the layoff list, violating the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Pregnancy Discrimination Act and related state laws. Meta announced a reduction of about 8,000 jobs – roughly 10 % of its global workforce – in May as it shifts resources toward AI development. The company has rejected the allegations, with a spokesperson stating, "Workforce management and organizational decisions were and are made by people, not AI," and calling the claims lack of merit.

The lawsuit seeks an injunction to halt the layoffs until the case is resolved, as well as damages and reinstatement for the plaintiffs. It is the first major U.S. lawsuit accusing a tech giant of using AI in mass‑termination decisions, raising questions about algorithmic bias and compliance with employment‑rights legislation.
