Meta has started to change its management approach after a difficult period marked by many employees leaving, low staff morale, and the cancellation of a controversial internal surveillance program.

Meta 在經歷了一段艱難時期，包括許多員工離職、員工士氣低落以及取消一項具爭議性的內部監控計畫後，已開始改變其管理方式。

The current instability began with a management style introduced in late 2022, which led to the layoff of approximately 25,600 employees. This 'year of efficiency' created a high-pressure work environment where employees felt they could not express disagreement. Furthermore, the situation worsened because of uncertainty regarding more layoffs and the fact that 7,000 staff members were moved into AI training roles, which some described as boring or low-level work.

目前的動盪始於 2022 年底引入的管理風格，導致約 25,600 名員工被裁員。這個「效率之年」創造了一個高壓的工作環境，使員工覺得無法表達異議。此外，由於對進一步裁員的不確定性，以及 7,000 名員工被調往 AI 訓練崗位（部分人將其描述為枯燥或低階工作），情況進一步惡化。

At the same time, the company launched the Model Capability Initiative in April. This program used keystroke logging and screen captures to collect data from talented employees to improve AI models. However, the project was stopped after a security breach made private employee data, such as performance reviews, available to other staff. Consequently, over 1,600 employees signed a petition expressing concerns about privacy violations and the collection of data without their consent.

與此同時，公司於 4 月啟動了「模型能力倡議」。該計畫利用按鍵記錄和螢幕截圖來收集優秀員工的數據，以改良 AI 模型。然而，在一次安全性漏洞導致員工的私人數據（如績效評估）被其他員工閱覽後，該計畫被終止。隨後，超過 1,600 名員工簽署請願書，對侵犯隱私及在未經同意下收集數據表示關注。

Company leaders have recently admitted that these policies had a negative effect. Chief Technology Officer Andrew Bosworth stated that morale is at an all-time low and admitted that the restructuring was handled poorly. Similarly, CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Chris Cox acknowledged that the work environment had become too harsh. This change in attitude seems to be caused by the fact that unhappy employees may be preventing the company from reaching its AI goals, as Meta has fallen behind competitors like Google and OpenAI.

公司領導層最近承認這些政策產生了負面影響。首席技術長 Andrew Bosworth 表示士氣處於歷史最低點，並承認重組處理得不理想。同樣地，執行長 Mark Zuckerberg 與 Chris Cox 也承認工作環境變得過於苛刻。這種態度的轉變似乎是因為不滿的員工可能會阻礙公司達成 AI 目標，因為 Meta 已經落後於 Google 和 OpenAI 等競爭對手。

Meta is now trying to make employees feel safe again by offering small improvements and promising stability until the end of the year, although it is unclear if these changes will work in the long term.

Meta 現在正試圖透過提供小幅改善並承諾在年底前保持穩定，來讓員工重新感到安全，但尚不清楚這些改變長期來看是否有效。
