Casualties Mount 正文：Employees have signed petitions against being tracked by A.I. and were trying to figure out who had been let go on Wednesday, as the Silicon Valley giant tries to transform into an A.I.-first company. For the last month,employees at Meta have been on edge. In April, they were told that 8,000 of them, or 10 percent of the work force, would be laid off on May 20 as Meta remade itself for the artificial intelligence era. On Monday, they learned that another 7,000 employees would be reassigned to new A.I. initiatives. 知识点：petitions /pəˈtɪʃnz/（名词复数形式，源自古法语 petition，最终源自拉丁语 petitio，意为“请求、诉求、申请”） 本义为“（向官方提交的）请愿书、申请书、诉状”，外刊社会与职场语境核心义为 （员工、民众发起的）联名请愿、集体诉求书 核心搭配：sign a petition（签署请愿书）、circulate a petition（传阅请愿书）、file a petition（提交请愿书） ・Local residents submitted a petition to the council asking for more green spaces. 当地居民向议会提交请愿书，要求增加绿地面积。 ・Thousands of tech workers signed petitions against the company's invasive employee monitoring policy. 数千名科技工作者签署请愿书，反对公司侵犯隐私的员工监控政策。 获取外刊的完整原文以及精讲笔记，请关注微信公众号「早安英文」，回复“外刊”即可。更多有意思的英语干货等着你！ 【节目介绍】  …
