Meta employees are circulating flyers in meeting rooms, on vending machines, and atop toilet paper dispensers at US offices to protest the company's Agent Transformation Accelerator (ATA), a program that installs software on employee computers to track mouse movements, clicks, and keystrokes to train AI agents. The flyers, which ask “Don't want to work at the Employee Data Extraction Factory?” cite the US National Labor Relations Act and direct workers to an online petition, while UK employees are organizing a unionization campaign with United Tech and Allied Workers. CTO Andrew Bosworth confirmed employees cannot opt out, and the backlash is intensified by Meta's planned May 20 layoffs cutting 10% of the workforce, with CFO Susan Li telling investors in April that the company doesn't “really know what the optimal size of the company will be in the future.”
