Employers who laid off workers citing AI are already starting to regret it (r/technology)
- Theydontlikeitupthem: This is how companies work, especially IT companies, laying off staff or cutting staffing costs in any way looks great to shareholders and on the balance sheet, senior management get nice bonuses and promotions based on the onetime reductions. If there is any negatives and the cuts are rolled back or business suffers, those bonuses and promotions aren’t revoked if anything it’s turned as a positive “the company is doing so good they need to increase staff numbers, yay!” If anyone actually suffers from this it’s the staff layed off or the remaining staff who have to take on the extra work of the lost staff, it’s not some executive.
