AI spending is now competing directly with employee pay.

When companies freeze raises to fund AI, workers will ask whether this technology is improving their future or financing their replacement.

The AI boom will need productivity gains, but also fairness if companies want employees to believe in it.

Texas Tech company pausing 401k matching to invest in AI is wild

I wonder if 401k matching is gonna disappear like pensions

“TTEC explicitly linked the benefits retreat to investments in AI — the implication being savings from retirement spend were being partly reallocated to building the company's AI future.”
