Who tf quits their job voluntarily in this economy? And then in a shithole country like the US at that, where social security safety nets basically don't exist

Just twiddling my thumbs waiting on severance. These motherfuckers will have to pay me to fuck off.

While there’s no evidence linking AI to mass layoff

the last 3 years of layoffs due to ai says otherwise.

How many? “Journalists” should be held liable for using this shit ambiguous language to push propaganda.

To simplify that, managers usually don't admit errors and of course they don't admit mistakes. The environment in which a manager works makes this absolutely impossible for them.

And every "magical blackbox innovation like something from Civilization games, finally reached" compels managers to try to do what they shouldn't.

It's them seeing a thing that is good for those who follow it and bad for those who don't, and they are trying to do something to not miss the train, not realizing that such things don't happen through managers, they spread through professionals. If an "innovation" doesn't spread through professionals, it's not that. It's like grassgroots politics versus being told who's the savior of the nation.

A manager wouldn't accept what I wrote, they'd talk about professionals stuck in old rigid ways of thinking and all other loads of crap, because they are not qualified to say what's old and new and what's promising and what's not, and those "stuck" professionals are.

This would be a perfectly fine new kind of services and applications if only not for managerial hype train. With people themselves starting to use tools how and when they themselves need. On a case-to-case basis.

That's the problem, managers are people who manage timetables, tasks, negotiations and finances. Managers are in principle not the kind of people who can think about "innovations" and "revolutions". They are just not qualified for that, like a janitor is not qualified to fix wiring.

They can be, but their main activity has nothing to do with even understanding such things.

Her employer “compelled” the team to incorporate generative AI, then “in the same conversation, warned about the legal dangers”, she said. The result was constant stress.

The state of the rat race in a nutshell. Everyone I work with is barely holding on mentally, but productivity is high, so it looks good from 30k ft. It is weird how so many staff engineers are quitting, though.

Yes, I've also considered changing to something completely different. Not so much because of AI itself, because I don't really use it, but because every service that we need to use is getting sloppified to the point where they're unusable.

Take banking for instance. I've spend a lot of time making a fully automated integration of all our banking. Then the bank decided to make a new UI, and at first I don't care because I don't use the UI for my stuff. The change in the UI is minimal, like they changed a font or some shit, but somehow they also removed the option to get the files that I need. Their support can only offer me help in how I can do these things manually in the new "better" UI, but even then, their files don't match their own visual statements and such any longer. It's simply broken, because some CEO didn't like the font.

I might as well go back to pen and paper.

I’m so tired of these trash papers using language to make seem shit like there is some sort of movement. Find 3 opinions and call it a movement.

Seriously ban these trashy rage bait propaganda headlines. How many people are leaving their jobs? I want one absolute number. Just fucking 1 .
