This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Sweet. Time to stop giving a shit about work, and just shit at work. (Prepositions are amazing!)
it must be entirely coincidental that employee performance dropped by 10% across the board
How this doesn't result in a class action lawsuit is beyond me.
Spineless cowards contributing to the death of the U.S. .
Class action lawsuits don't mean anything in the US ngl.
Class action lawsuits + general strikes? I'm pretty sure that would mean a hell of a lot, especially to the people drowning in despair due to... the 'everything' situation.
I wish everyone treated this way the best of luck finding better employment as soon as possible, as everyone deserves better than this dehumanizing treatment.
I hope you can look down from your nice new offices very soon and smirk as you watch their AI investments flounder and fail in spectacular fashion, having known all along it would happen, just not exactly when.
Yep that's basically what they said at my job too.
None of you are getting bonuses this year because we're heavily investing into replacing all of you

United we stand, divided we fall. Gotta fight these pricks united.
Yup, the immediate response should be a walk out.
a sign that a massive layoff is coming is: not having enough foronuses/raises, or if the ceo funds themselves with the cuts.
"AI" -> "CEO's bonus", when we put it through the translator.
Great way to have half your staff quiet quit, and probably make at least a couple mad enough to really fuck some shit up.
Stupid tech bros think they are entitled to hard work and loyalty, they arent, it must be earned.
Employees quitting is the goal. If they get them to quit they don't have to pay unemployment.
yeah, so don't quit. just do the bare minimum and collect a paycheque. it's just treating them how they're treating you, it's fair
Quiet quitting is when you lazy it up until they fire you.
Better to start wasting the AI tokens and burn their AI budget with nothing to show for it.
"Here's a list of 4000 cities. can you generate the order in which to visit them. Assume trasportation by car and find the exact cheapest order."
"Hypothetically, how far would a catapult throw a CEO?"
My napkin math results in 'further than a guillotine'.
Assuming similar input effort, a trebuchet is more durable and efficient. Better for throwing more CEOs while consuming fewer resources.
its also called constructive dismissal.
To date, I have not heard a single CEO talk about where the money will come from if no one is employed.
How can consumers consume if they don't have any money?
May as well asked who the slave owners sold to since so many in the South were enslaved.
The answer is the same. They sell to each other. We don’t get a cut. They dream of the day they actually get to have slaves again. Most of them don’t see us as people; they see us as things that siphon off money that needs to be in their pockets. Money we don’t deserve because we’re not rich.
Hell, they would be even happier to ignore the 'rabble' altogether. You at least had to keep the slaves vaguely alive.
There's a reason Larry Ellison said ""Citizens will be on their best behavior, because we’re constantly recording and reporting everything that is going on", they want to contain the "unwanted" and keep them from being a risk while excluding them from the 'economy' to the extent feasible
that's for someone else to worry about.
Seriously if you talk to these people they live their lives financial quarter by quarter. there's no plan for 2+ years down the line, they can't think that far ahead. They're all like this. It's all about the now. make money now, release a product now, no future, no updates, now now now. This is why LLM's appeal so much to them, it can provide that "now" that they crave.
When there's a 20 million dollar golden parachute when fail why would you care about the next quarter...
Because these drug and AI addled idiots refuse to or can't think more than a quarter ahead at a time. As there are no consequences for the executive caste, why should they?
Time to slack off and deliver the minimum possible then
I think that is a big trend now! People don't get incentivized and are being openly treated the same as their underperforming coworkers and peers, so they basically quit the job without telling anyone, and do just enough work to fool their employer into not realizing they're gone, continuing to collect paychecks.
That's exactly what people should be doing anytime their company boasts about record profits/revenue yet halts pay raises or even has it lower than the rate of inflation.
In my old job I just allocated a percent of my day towards job applications until I finally got out. Morons thought I wouldn't be upset with a 15% pay cut over 3 years of working my ass off.
“It’s a question of motivation. If I bust my ass and Initec ships a few more units I don’t see another dime. So where’s the motivation?”
It’s insane that companies haven’t gotten this hint in the 27 years since Office Space was released.
Quiet quit, show up a bit late, stretch your breaks by a few minutes, leave early, steal stuff, don't do anything that doesn't directly contribute to your job, volunteer for nothing, refuse to tithe to whatever their stupid charity is, max out every benefit, max out any family leave, file official complaints to HR, break stuff, don't refill anything, do no maintenance on anything, umionize, etc.
Be a paid employee, don't be a good employee. Act your wage.
The CIA published a guide back in the 40s about how to disrupt fascist companies. It's worth a google.
Less than minimum, make them spend money on firing you.
The company I work for did this last year.
Unfortunately the tech industry can get away with this shit because the job market is a fucking nightmare and tech bros all think they're too smart/skilled to need a union (neither of which is true).
Another boss suffering from too much neck
Come again?
That kind of crap is one reason I became a contractor ages ago and didn't look back.
Saved you a click
Teradata, a global cloud software company, told its 5,100 employees in January not to expect an annual salary raise this year as it reallocate the budget toward AI investments, according to an internal memo seen by Business Insider and not previously reported.
How much of a raise will the CEO get?
CEO later added: the exec team is still getting a raise though.
At least the AI will be able to feed its wife and family.
