    They will rehire for less. The AI hype is just a wage suppression scheme.

      My employer has been axing so many high level engineers it’s not even funny. I think that’s terrible for engineer morale. Why would you want to strive to improve and get promoted if it just makes you “too expensive to keep on payroll”?

            We need to organize a proper rebellion before we get to guillotines and starting with unions is a place to work from.

        Add this on top of federal layoffs, inflation, tariffs, higher interest rates (I know they’re necessary sometimes), etc. The average American is getting screwed right now.
