Summary
Twenty-six Meta employees have filed a lawsuit against the company, alleging that its AI-based layoff system disproportionately targeted individuals on medical, parental, or family leave. The lawsuit claims Meta's AI-assisted performance rankings failed to account for protected leave, leading to discriminatory selections for the 8,000 planned layoffs, and cites violations of several state and federal laws including the Family and Medical Leave Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act.
