Meta Drops Token-Usage Grading for Employees, Pushes New Agent Hatch
Hesamation · x · 2026-09-03
Meta is formally ending what amounted to a tokenmaxxing incentive program: performance reviews will no longer depend on how much employees use AI tools, WIRED reports. Previously, usage correlated with labels like "AI Native" or "AI First," and about two dozen employees have sued Meta alleging discriminatory layoffs tied to the metric.
New guidance replaces usage-based criteria with looser wording focused on impact. Meanwhile, Meta is pushing employees to test Hatch, its most advanced agentic AI tool, and token consumption keeps surging.
