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.
its also called constructive dismissal.
Employees quitting is the goal. If they get them to quit they don’t have to pay unemployment.
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?”
Assuming similar input effort, a trebuchet is more durable and efficient. Better for throwing more CEOs while consuming fewer resources.
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
That kind of crap is one reason I became a contractor ages ago and didn’t look back.

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?
This is how they get voluntary terminations that don’t require severance.
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.
Teradata’s focus for 2026 is to “win in the market with AI,” CEO Steve McMillan said in the memo
Oh boy… he is just chugging the AI kool-aid.
Build your own AI agent and sell it to your company. It only works when you are around, and profit the money, they are investing it with.
