GoKawiilMeta drops AI-usage metric from employee performance reviews
Meta told staff this week that performance evaluations will no longer be tied to how much they use AI tools, ending a system that had labeled workers 'AI Native,' 'AI First,' or 'AI Enabled' based on chatbot and agent usage. The change comes even as Meta rolls out a new agentic AI tool called Hatch, and employees report their token consumption keeps climbing anyway. The policy shift follows a lawsuit from about two dozen laid-off employees who alleged the AI-usage grading system unfairly penalized workers on health or family leave.
