Meta CTO says employees should use AI productivity gains to do more work — not take more time off

Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth told employees that productivity gains from AI should be used to build more products rather than to expand time off. In an internal Q&A, he rejected a proposal to revive “Meta Days,” saying extra AI-driven efficiency should translate into more work for Meta’s billions of users. The comments reflect a broader Big Tech debate over whether AI will reduce working hours or increase output expectations. While not a direct financial catalyst, the remarks reinforce Meta’s image as an AI-first company pushing for higher leverage from its workforce, which may be viewed as supportive of execution and margin discipline. Meta currently offers four working weeks off per year plus holidays, and the company replaced Meta Days with two “choice days.”
