Considering this is a very small lay off, was handled extremely well and provided proper offers for staff to choose to leave instead of just surprising people. I wouldn’t call this a cash grab by literally any real means. Companies do lay offs, its normal. The only stated claim here is that AI is fucking the market and they are downsizing.
Which it is. Thats litterally just facts.
Theres nothing to indicate here least i can see, that says they are force rolling out AI to cash in on a quick buck.
10% is small? Wat? If someone reduced your salary by 10%, would you just go “oh, that’s minimal! I won’t even notice it!”?
And they aren’t saying the market is getting smaller. Nowhere does phoronix report that. You’re just making stuff up. With a more efficient workforce they should be able to pay more, get more work done, and handle more customers with the sane amount of people.
No. What they are doing is spreading the same work over fewer people who aren’t getting a pay raise, meaning 10% decrease in personnel costs, which the upper management can pocket.
