Meta's chief technology officer Andrew Bosworth told staff that morale at the company is 'probably the worst it's ever been' during an internal meeting on June 2, according to four people on the call. Bosworth said the only period he could recall that was worse was the Cambridge Analytica scandal in 2018. The candid admission comes despite Meta posting one of its richest quarters in history, with $56.31 billion in revenue and roughly $26.8 billion in profit for the first three months of 2026. Employee discontent has been fueled by recent layoffs of about 8,000 jobs, the reassignment of another 10% of staff to a mandatory AI task force, and cuts to stock-based compensation. Bosworth has acknowledged leadership's poor communication and pledged to improve the culture, but workers have protested surveillance software installed on company laptops and circulated flyers branding Meta an 'Employee Data Extraction Factory.'
