So far I’ve only seen AI being used to fire employees that a company totally absolutely still needs but just doesn’t want to pay wages to.
Companies are dumb as fuck, that’s my conclusion, but what else can you expect by organizations run by ladder-climbing CEO figures?
The company that laid me off is paying me 4 months of wages without any work, this is the severance package I get in exchange for them not being forced to try to find me another suitable position in the company or “prove” that there no tasks at the company that I could do with my existing skill set (that’s how the law works where I live).

Think about the coordinated tech layoffs that happened and now the tech industry has a labor surplus.
Saves them money.

It’s not worth it.
Are you in the states? I’m surprised you have those protections.
No, Sweden
