Meta's Token-Based Performance Farce
Warm-Reaction-456 · reddit · 2026-07-09
A post shares that after Meta incorporated AI usage into performance reviews, an internal leaderboard based on token consumption emerged. Some employees even intentionally left agents running overnight just to inflate their numbers.
The author compares this to the perverse incentives of the old "measuring performance by lines of code" era, arguing that a token leaderboard similarly rewards inefficient behavior rather than those who actually solve problems.
