My employer tried not to pay me when I got hurt on job. Workman’s comp would have been less than what they got sold for. Claimed I was faking after three knee operations.
To many businesses, employees are a necessary evil- to be dispensed with whenever possible. They call in sick, talk back, get pregnant, want holidays off, vacation time and healthcare benefits, and can’t be made to work 24 hours per day- all normal human things but perceived as poisonous for profits. If AI does take over the world, it will be because it costs less than people.

I hope there’s some water at the bottom of the fall.

Would getting fired be as literal as this getting laid off is.
How they land after this layoff could make a big difference.

When you are told you may want to have a lawyer peruse the document, DO IT.

Not seeing a single golden parachute amongst them. Must be middle management.

I believe that is how they fire ineffective officers in the Russian Army.

Those two guys must be pushing FAST, given the short distances between the fallers.
