While the company is discouraging #tokenmaxxing and removing AI usage from performance evaluations, it is encouraging employees to use its new AI platform, #Hatch, which consumes #moretokens than standard #AItools. This has led to concerns among employees about job security, as #heavyAIusage is still a part of Meta’s #workplaceculture. gizmodo.com/meta-is-reportedly #tech #news #ainews

  15. #Metaglasses, with their built-in #recording capabilities, are causing concern in #workplaces, particularly for #service and #retail workers. Customers are using these glasses to record #employees, often for #socialmedia content, leading to uncomfortable and potentially exploitative situations. The lack of clear laws and policies around smart glasses in the workplace leaves employees vulnerable and raises privacy concerns. theverge.com/report/982414/met #ARglasses #SmartGlasses #AugmentedReality #AR

  16. Should Companies Audit What Employees Post on Social Media?

    Workplace discussions around responsible social media use are becoming a key part of modern corporate governance. Photo: Vitaly Gariev via Unsplash.

    Dear Cherubs, every employee has a smartphone, a social media account, and, occasionally, the confidence to post something that makes the legal department reach for the aspirin. The question isn’t whether companies notice anymore. It’s whether they should actively monitor what relevant employees post online.

    The answer, in many cases, is yes—but with boundaries.

    WHO COUNTS?

    Not every employee represents a company in the same way. The warehouse worker posting holiday photos isn’t in the same position as the CEO announcing “exciting news” before the stock market opens. A software engineer leaking confidential product details isn’t the same as someone sharing pictures of their dog wearing a tiny hat.

    Roles matter. Executives, senior managers, public relations staff, salespeople, recruiters, customer service representatives, and anyone with access to sensitive information can significantly affect a company’s reputation or even its legal standing.

    According to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, companies must ensure material information is disclosed fairly to investors. One careless post from a senior executive could create regulatory headaches and market confusion.

    THE FINE LINE

    Auditing social media shouldn’t mean turning into Big Brother with a Wi-Fi connection.

    Employers generally have legitimate reasons to monitor public posts when they relate directly to company interests, such as confidential information, harassment, discrimination, threats, or conduct that damages the business. What employees discuss privately with friends or within lawful private spaces is a different matter and may be protected by employment laws or privacy legislation depending on the country.

    That’s where many companies stumble. The goal isn’t to police opinions. It’s to manage risk.

    A sensible social media audit focuses on business-related concerns rather than personal beliefs unrelated to work. Otherwise, the company risks becoming the story instead of preventing one.

    COMMON SENSE WINS

    According to the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), many employers already include social media expectations in workplace policies. The best policies are surprisingly boring—and that’s a compliment.

    They explain what confidential information is.

    They remind employees not to imply they speak for the company unless authorised.

    They encourage respectful online behaviour.

    And they outline what happens if someone ignores those rules.

    No mystery. No secret surveillance. Just expectations.

    Training may actually be more valuable than monitoring. Many social media disasters aren’t malicious—they’re accidental. A frustrated employee vents after work. An enthusiastic executive posts too early. Someone shares a client story without realising confidentiality applies online just as much as it does in the office.

    According to thisclaimer.com, digital reputation has become one of the fastest-moving business risks because online content spreads globally in minutes while apologies travel considerably slower.

    The smartest companies therefore treat social media governance like cybersecurity: prevention first, enforcement second.

    Ultimately, companies absolutely should pay attention to what relevant employees publicly post when those posts could affect customers, shareholders, confidential information or the organisation’s reputation. But auditing should never become blanket surveillance of employees’ personal lives.

    Good governance protects both the company and its people. Bad governance simply creates another PR crisis waiting to trend.

  17. Rising #AIcosts are forcing Fortune 500 companies to choose between investing in #AI and hiring new #employees. The cost of AI has increased with each new model release, making it as expensive as human labour. This has led companies to reassess their AI spending, opting for cheaper models for less demanding tasks. cnbc.com/2026/05/29/-tokens-or #tech #media #news

  18. Actually, Democracy Dies in H.R.
    New research sheds light on how mediocre #employees help would-be #authoritarians maintain power.
    Turns out career pressures familiar to employees everywhere — desire to revive stalled career or obtain minor promotion — can be enough to incentivize lower- and midlevel officials to violate professional obligations, fundamental norms and even basic morality. Often just middling workers looking for a way to get ahead.

  19. #MAGA #ForkINTheRoad directive to #Federal #employees states simply reply with word #RESIGN in header and you can #optout of your career #USGovt position with pay for more than 6 months?

    opm.gov/fork/

    #TVNews blithering & graphics packages have parroted language of #President & #OPM at face value but offered little detailed #analysis or #legalterms fine print...

    The #DJT admin so-called #BuyOut that offers 7 months pay to #GOV workers that take it, actually has strings attached. In fact the terms are a "deferred resignation" that requires employees to do other tasks if so assigned!

    Perhaps loading boxcars of detainees?

  20. "#Workers in the #US have an estimated $50bn-plus #stolen from them every year, according to the #Economic #Policy #Institute, surpassing all #robberies, #burglaries and motor vehicle #thefts #combined. The majority of these stolen #wages are never recovered by workers.

    Between 2017 to 2020, $3.24bn in stolen wages were recovered by the US Department of Labor, state labor departments and attorney generals, and through class- and collective-action litigation.

    #Wage theft disproportionately affects lower-wage workers, women, people of color, and immigrant workers, and negatively affects local #economies and #tax #revenues.

    There are numerous forms of wage theft, from #employers not #compensating workers for time #worked, #violating minimum #wage and #overtime #laws, misclassifying #employees as independent #contractors, not providing #legally required meal breaks, confiscating worker tips, or illegally taking #deductions from worker wages."

  21. Sleazy scam:

    #lawfirms using #recruiters to find #employees; then fire employees when it comes time to pay #recruiter for #work.

    That's called #fraud and is potentially a crime, theft by deception.

    __This request is not for me.__

    If you are in #LosAngeles and looking for an experienced and legally trained #paralegal (JD, Law Review, former litigator) with NO aspirations to practice #law after decades of #legal experience, please send me a message. I have a great employee for you. /1
