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

Meta chief technology officer Andrew Bosworth. Bloomberg/Getty Images Meta executive Andrew Bosworth was asked at a Q&A if AI gains could be used to take more time off. Bosworth replied that it should instead be used to build "cooler stuff" for Meta users. Meta declined to comment. The company provides four weeks off a year, plus public holidays. Should tech workers supercharged by AI be able to take more time off? Meta's chief technology officer, Andrew Bosworth, said he doesn't think so. That's what Bosworth told employees at a Q&A in early July, according to three people on the call. A Meta employee asked Bosworth if AI productivity gains could be channeled into more vacation time — specifically, the revival of "Meta Days," a since-canceled holiday program that allowed staff to take a few extra days off.
