Today’s actions are not a cost-cutting exercise
Uh
Ruining lives for the love of the game
That’s not a good sign.
And yet their bullshit is fucking everywhere.
If teams are so good with AI, why cut the teams. Surly they could grow, develop and add value much faster if they kept the 1000 people and used AI?
Since they’re using (now expensive) genAI and productivity isn’t improving, because it almost never does, rhen they need to do something to appease stakeholders and offset the cost of using genAI, ofc.
That and keeping employee’s perception of power and self worth down, so they keep working their asses off in the hopes of not being the next in line.
If productivity is not improving with the use of “(now expensive)” genAI, then turn it off, not lay off
Cloudflare’s usage of AI has increased by more than 600% in the last three months alone. Employees across the company from engineering to HR to finance to marketing run thousands of AI agent sessions each day to get their work done.
Translation: Skip the AI and you might keep your job.
good… the techbro losers are going down with the ship while the corpos take the money and run. They are acelerating… this is when there will be true change. Really actualy good news. The veil is being removed and the toxic positive optimist are crying in their cornflakes. Even you suits are in the cross hairs. Ladder pullers phonies get a dose of their own medicine… hows that optimism treatin yah… you started as zoo keeper now you are the exhibit. “Little Timmy if you look right over there in the corner you can see the endangered tech employee… do you see him barking trying to maintain his territory.” … AI did not take your job your economy is shrinking… come on liberals, you stand in the way put your theories to the test. I am waiting… tap tap tap
I bet ya there’s some meds on your bathroom counter you might want to make sure you took this morning.
