Is the CEO outsourcing their job to people making $15 an hour?
> While they don’t make extra money, staff see it as an opportunity to network and build new skills, especially important at a time the labor market is shifting, Kapilashrami said.
Oh, so this was set up before AI was on anyone’s mind and appears to just be another way to squeeze the labor force as companies ruthlessly innovate on their techiques to extract blood from stones.
I think the AI zeitgeist is so popular because it’s given executives a socially convenient excuse to chop 20% of the workforce and push the jobs onto the remaining employees like in 2008
What are these executives going to do when the only people employed by their companies are themselves and it’s time for the bi yearly layoffs to juice the stock price?
