Meta's three-month-old Applied AI unit of 6,500 engineers faces internal unrest over mandatory reassignments and repetitive work. Employees describe being forced to join or quit, calling the role 'soul-crushing,' while over 1,600 Meta staff signed a petition against keystroke-monitoring for AI training. CEO Zuckerberg acknowledged the changes caused distress in a Friday memo.
