Klarna says AI drive has helped halve staff numbers and boost pay

Boost pay for the median or mean?
breckenedge•2mo ago
> with average compensation – including employee-related taxes and pension contributions – rising by 60% over the past three year

> Average compensation for each employee has jumped from $126,000 (£96,000) in 2022 to $203,000 today, Klarna said.

siva7•2mo ago
Wait, they pay 200k as a swedish company to staff? Can someone inside confirm?
piva00•2mo ago
I highly doubt it, I know several people who worked (and some who still work) there, no way that's the median compensation for the staff in R&D.

Quick edit: now I see they are adding the pensions into that calculation, tjänstepension is something every company in Sweden has to pay, it doesn't make sense to include it as part of the "average compensation".

svelle•2mo ago
>[...] it doesn't make sense to include it as part of the "average compensation".

Unless you want to artificially boost your numbers to sound better in the press release.

yobbo•2mo ago
Average of costs of compensation - "including employee-related taxes and pension contributions".

The employee sees around half of that. But there must be more to it, since it is still an unrealistic number.

nobodyandproud•2mo ago
It’s coffee time in my area so my mental faculties aren’t up to speed, but that doesn’t seem to answer my question.
yaris•2mo ago
If I get 10K and my boss gets 400K - our average compensation will be just above the mentioned 203K. But there are some small details, you see...
Neil44•2mo ago
I'm guessing the staffing losses are concentrated at the lowest paid end, which is why getting rid of them has seen average comp increase by 60%.
kotaKat•2mo ago
Bingo. What roles and positions still even exist at this point at Klarna on the “low” end? It’s certainly not a customer-service facing role at that point.
breckenedge•2mo ago
There’s really nothing in the article that speaks to savings due to “AI” per se, and the timeline really doesn’t work out. I suspect this is just another executive wanting to jump on claiming “we’re AI now!”
cjrp•2mo ago
Didn't Klarna say they'd replaced all of their customer service reps with AI, and then had to backtrack and rehire them when the AI was doing a terrible job?
svelle•2mo ago
Yes. Although it seems they didn't rehire, but just reassigned people from other parts of the org.

As this is their third flip flop on AI[0][1] I assume this is likely Klarna trying to distract from the fundamental issues in their model.[2]

"had managed to increase revenues by 108%"

This sounds less than the consumer price inflation over the period.

datadrivenangel•2mo ago
Hire an expensive AI Software engineer to replace 2-3 lower paid employees... that will reduce staff count and boost average pay, but is it better overall?
