'Layoffs to focus on AI' at this point seems to be the in-vogue way to distract investors from the poor financials that are driving the layoffs.

This, and, I think the “AI” investigations the companies are doing is revealing a lot of “what is it you say you do here?” moments. (An Office Space quote, which is required viewing for anyone commenting on corporate jobs)

I think a lot of companies are finding that a lot of jobs are expendable. Now, before you all accuse me of siding with corporations, I feel they aren’t going to just keep the workers who have been pulling their weight this whole time, they’re gonna slash randomly or by popularity and just say “work harder or leave.”

The next 10 years is gonna a clusterfuck.

After Peter has told the Bobs exactly what he does, i.e. nothing, the Bobs report back to Limburgh.

I'd like to move us right along to a Peter Gibbons. Now we had a chance to meet this young man, and boy that's just a straight shooter with upper management written all over him.

I just watched it again this year, after not having seen it for like 15 years so I didn't remember a thing 😅

I did too. Didn’t it sound like such an innocent crime these days?

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

Definitely! 😅
