What do you expect... they replaced their investigative journalists with AI just days before this article came out.

(source, I asked chatgpt to research before doing this comment).

yeah, we should really expect more from... checks notes... "global media platform, market research agency, and service that connects talents with hiring companies" 😂

Yeah, I doubt this is true. At least a few laid off employees would have said so somewhere, and the "journalist" even says that there's been nothing about layoffs since July.

Where do they think senior employees come from?

Someone should tell them to set up alerts in their dashboard 😤

A great time for those that didn't replace their people with AI to take some market share. China and Europe for example.

We're still suffering from the skills lack after we fired our mentors and documentors after Y2K. We've been 20 years without proper mentorship already, and now the last of the mentors will leave the market to the lost boys.

this. its been going awhile and its getting worse. Im not even sure how things are managing to keep it together. oh. oh yeah.

They'll outsource to India and there will be no one in the US capable of competing

You're speaking of something that sounds dangerously like investing in science. I hope you're hiding your IP. /s maybe

with all the lay offs, and downsizing, its going to affect a generation or 2. and students in universities, are abandoning school or choosing a non-tech field. state schools here was suffering from severe under-enrollment apparently for the last few years, because students lost confidence in these schools during covid(no career opportunities, development, no Hands on approach/experience, due to covid). The lucky ones who can transfer went to a more prestigious school instead , not everyone could do this, and one review in my school, she saw how when she went to UCLA transferred from the state school , that her peers stayed and struggled to develop thier careers. our state schools here is big on tech so the layoffs accelerating what was boiling beneath the surface for career development, before hte pandemic.

I was in DevOps, didn't hardly touch AWS, but I can't see how AI could possibly judge IAM permission errors.

Rufus would probably tell you there is no such thing as Rufus.

You know, I did most of a business degree, and there wasn't one iota of a lesson about heeding expertise, mostly just maximizing profits and how to trick people into buying your shit

Maybe the management is AI.

Ah, it's not new technology. It's slave labor. Which is a super old concept actually. Now they just found the legal version.

Amazon is headquartered in Washington and the location of the network failure was in Atlanta. How is any of this relevant to a region in Northern California?

Step one: find a single shred of evidence that this is true.

i read job reviews, how developers, engineers were worked to the bone comparatively to other tech jobs in other companies, for about the same or slightly lower income.
