      No, it was them. That was a moment of clar…weakness, and now the CEO is sure he’s right again.

        Not AI related, but reminds me of what happened at X when Musk let a bunch of folks quit and then had to beg for some of them to return. This is another example of a poorly thought out boomerang.

      It may have helped them shrink the workforce by convincing them to do it, but that does not also mean that it was a positive and permanent action.

    This CEO would be better replaced with AI.

    Again. AI can also replace all upper management. They literally do nothing but attend meetings and keep each other employed.

      It’s arguably easier to replace upper management. All corps work in the same fashion, they crunch numbers, hire and fire based on performance of the company. I’d say that’s easier for AI to do than come up with new and novel ideas on how to do or invent things.

    AI can save Klarna more than 60% of overhead expenses if they replace all upper management.

    The number is made up, it could possibly be more.

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Our Philosophies:

  • All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
  • Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
  • Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
  • We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.

Our Goals

  • Higher wages for underpaid workers.
  • Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
  • Better and fewer working hours.
  • Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
  • Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.
