Meta tracks token consumption, but has explicitly stated that it is not a primary performance metric. Instead, employees are evaluated on "impact."

Indeed, they also said that previous time off for ill health wasn't a reason either.
but looking at the number of people who had taken leave, it suggests otherwise.
You can believe whatever conspiracy theories you want, of course, but the most straightforward explanation is that when you lay off X,000 or XX,000 people, some number of them will be on leave.
In London, large number of people on sick leave, or were recently on sick leave were fired. I was there, I saw the people, did the numbers.
My understanding is that they must layoff some workers on leave, otherwise they would be discriminating

Megacorps being dishonest and human-hostile under capitalism is hardly a theory.
Famously honest and on-the-level company Meta, who we can parrot the word of uncritically and unquestioningly.
And my CTO insists that PR count isn't a performance metric. But guess what number gets used the minute people are forced to stack rank (of course they don't call it that, but... that's basically what it is)?
You get what you measure.
Sure, and I have a bridge to sell you. Or alternately refer you to the inevitability of Goodhart's law.
