Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth shut down an employee who asked whether AI productivity gains could revive Meta Days, the scrapped holiday perk, calling the question "very dumb" at a July townhall. He said the extra hours should go into building products, then told the staffer to ask their parents about it as a career strategy. Meta cut 8,000 jobs in May.
