   It's just amazing how companies went from fake caring to firing everybody, replacing us with shitty AI and then telling all of us to get over it.

     @BlackAzizAnansi My theory? They've always done this. Not only that. But they've always done this around this time. It's only a theory...a game..theo...but yeah. I would imagine if some data miner were to look into it.

     They'd find that either companies do this regularly after christmas. Whenever a democratic president is in office. Or because another ceo at another company did it. On some monkey see, monkey do shit.

     The difference being that this time we noticed. Or rather more people noticed. Probably gravitated to after christmas too. Because there were way too many christmas movies using that in their scripts and people started noticing more. lol

     So is this the year of corporations just dropping all pretense and kicking their employees and customers in the ass?

     @BlackAzizAnansi
     In an all-hands Zoom call in June, my company announced a reorg, which would mean 15% layoffs, but they wouldn’t know who for a few months. Chat blew up with .. normal human reaction to this Sword of Damocles.

     Leadership literally said “the comments are making me feel bad” and “YOU NEED TO GET OVER IT”.

     Late-stage capitalism seems to be intensifying the correlation between psychopaths and CEOs.
