In other news, company says unexpected expenses in its technology segment are driving layoffs and site closures. Company CEO said in an interview with Forbes, "There's no way we could have predicted this challenge. In service to our customers and our shareholders we're right sizing our operations and reevaluating our strategic priorities. We'll continue to focus on creating value while being a leader in our industry and accelerating AI adoption in everything we do."
Ugh that reads like it came from a random business sentence generator
By "random business sentence generator" do you mean a language model? 👀
A CEO.
same thing
Lmao. Never were truer words written on Lemmy.
Wow - if that quote is real, that is the most corpo-speak word salad bunch of nonsense I've ever read. It's got literally every big-biz exec and manager cliche in there, all strung together.
"right sizing" is pretty offensive term, more like "exec incompetence"
"there's no way we could of predicted the thing we were warned about"
"We're going to continue to push trash untill the shareholders are happy"
Then the end with its "Go fuck yourself, were pushing it all anyways"
That's a lot of words for the CFO to say none of the C-suite knows what they're doing and should be removed from their position for failing to meet shareholder objectives.
