@TheSpacerr Really? Because me and a few thousand others at my job are being laid off due to AI by September...therefore working less. The other cause is offshoring, H1-Bs & hiring cheap contractors.
“ Bad news is that about
6.1 million workers face a much tougher situation. These workers, who are concentrated in clerical and administrative roles, are also likely to be affected by AI.
Women make up a large share of this vulnerable group, accounting for a whopping 86% of workers in these positions. “ - @Sj_manning
@unusual_whales There is not and will not be a labor shortage. A labor shortage is when there aren't enough people to fill the demand of jobs. There is plenty of American human labor available - he and other companies are replacing them with AI & cheap H1-Bs/outsourcing.
@FirstSquawk Good luck. Don't do any administrative or admin support positions as they are laying off in favor of AI & offshoring in real time and in big numbers.
@jeremyct I didn't read through the responses but I can only imagine how many people jumped at the chance to say "just get a roomate" or "thats a lowskill job meant for teens".
@BoucherBur45960@middle_class_us What might those jobs be? Name a them please for the people whose jobs right now were made "obselete". They don't exist. What does exist is the demise of livelihoods because of some imaginary future that some grifter came up with to line their pockets.
@BoucherBur45960@middle_class_us 2mil more employed than last year? Really? Maybe tell that to the thousands Meta & other companies currently laid off. Oh and Centene that just issued a buyout to 61,000 of its employees on June 15th and will be doing more layoffs in August. I'm sure they would like to know this.
@JamesGeneoakley@Pirat_Nation Not to mention the speed at which an AI mistake becomes systemic and even more expensive to fix. A human error can be caught and fixed in an hour. An AI mistake…well it just made 10,000 of them in an hour so good luck
Centene just told most of its 61,000 employees: "Here's a buyout… and if not enough of you take it, we'll start forcing people out."
That’s not a restructuring plan. That’s a company-wide "please leave" memo dressed up as choice.
When membership dips, the default move is still to slash headcount instead of fixing the actual business. Classic corporate playbook. #CorporateBS
BREAKING: Centene just opened a company-wide buyout offer to most of its 61,000 employees.
The health insurer wants to shrink headcount after ACA enrollment fell about 2 million and total membership dropped 6% to 26.3 million.
Company-wide buy out on 61,000 headcount is INSANE
@JaynitMakwana So a 1 person or 10 person billion $ company makes these billions how exactly? Who are the people buying said product/services? Can't be common folk if they have no jobs ...so the rich are buying their own products from each other and recycling $ perpetually?
@clarefinds I don't have one. My age is against me...over 50 now. Transitional skills are a thing if the past. My many years of exp is working against me. And then you have "required 3-5 yrs of exp for entry -level" working against you and makes it impossible to transition to another field.
@LayoffAI What's the point of freezing it for less than a year? End H1-Bs indefinitely or its just going to start the cycle all over again. Always putting a bandaid on instead of fixing it all together.
@SpeaktheTruth64@ThrillaRilla369 No value? So you're strictly self check out right? Cool...Walmart not paying you to do the job of the Walmart cashier. Screwing the employees and the customers all at once....smdh.
