Oh yes. Good old Stu told me that too. If I remember correctly, it was supposedly September, right after the holiday season. So maybe don't take too many days off—wouldn't want to accidentally meet whatever completely made-up metric "they" are secretly judging everyone by.

Better yet, stay permanently anxious and keep amplifying random, completely unverified rumors online. That's always been an excellent way to improve your and everyone else's wellbeing.

Maybe they do intend to replace more labor cost with ai, but 30% sounds unrealistic. I don't see how any project could run with that severe of cuts

I second that comment. Heard that too. August-sept is the plan

They are 100% not laying off almost one out of every three people due to AI.

@a4 nope heard it loud and clear. and you know just as well as we all do that the second they can save a penny for AI they will chop as many people as they can.
