Of course. They're the ones with the courage to fire 97% of their employees. They deserve a large percentage of the money they save their company by firing so many worthless employees.

That doesn't make any sense? If you needed AI in order to replace staff, then you were not overstaffed. Just because we might invent a robot that can replace nurses in 20 years doesn't mean hospitals are currently overstaffed with nurses.

Once a piece of technology is invented people immediately forget how life worked before that technology existed. Such is the nature of technological progress. Cell phones are the worst example of this, plenty of people grew up without phones yet are unable to imagine how they would cope without one. Same with parents giving kids iPads and iphones and never wondering how parents used to raise kids before those were invented.

my company went from like 30 people to 300 people and now we're criminalll inefficieny. I think we should fire all of them

I just started working at a similar case 4 months ago. They definitely went from lean/small team with great margins to a bloated ship of hundreds in short order. It's pretty eye opening. Corporations really are just big zombie welfare ships that could do with 80% less workers if they knew how to properly/efficiently cut and scale down to their most effective employees.

He's 50% right.
AI isn't fixing that particular problem. AI is just another vector of bad decision-making by management.
>>
If AI makes an employee more productive, isn't it a no-op for an overstaffed company? Wouldn't it just make the unproductive employees more productive, thus making the company appropriately sized?

Almost no company can grow 40x in a year and expect to function. If it's a service company maybe it can survive but if your company actually produces something physical or performs physical works such as in construction you won't be able to gain market shares quickly enough to justify all those now efficient people for several years.

He misses the issue completely. Big companies aren't overstaffed because they try to be efficient but fail at it, pointless jobs are an inseparable part of every sufficiently big organization. Every manager above a certain levels needs a retinue of ass kissers to feel important, it doesn't matter what they do.

You starve on the streets. Didn't think that one through, did you, goy?

Didn't need AI for that. Could have just fired all the useless workers.

You're assuming that the entire staff does a meaningful amount of work. You can be sloppy, but you can cheat your work that much in nursing, but in the tech industry you can more easily do so by pretending work takes longer than necessarily.
>>
I mean he's not wrong, there are some exceptions like a car manufacturing plant is likely not overstaffed and neither is your local electrician or the ER in your hospital.
But most companies that have a majority of white collar guys work in an office are overstaffed.

The art is to find the people who are actually worth firing and finding the 10% who are doing the actual work

Amazon even innovated the "Hire to Fire" system where every manager demands more and more totally unneeded staff during the good times just so they can point to the new starters when layoffs inevitably kick in to save their own skin.

Actually is. I work in maintenance, used to have one foreman and 6 guys on the tools, now there's 4 people in the office and only 5 of us on the tools. They were telling us we might have our hours cut soon because costs have ballooned.
Obviously the guys doing the work like myself aren't party to the discussion where a bunch of fatasses decide who gets to go home lmao. Fucking don't even care anymore not gonna lie.

>>108798671
he is absolutely right.
>hr is overstaffed basically everywhere
>2% of engineers are doing all the heavy lifting
>marketing is worthless
>middle-management doing busywork all day
>execs need to meet the rope as they're the most useless and steal all the money

see twitter, they fired over 80% of the staff and nothing bad happened.
the thousands of larpers on mastodon predicted an horrible death failing to realize that there is no such thing as a 1000-man software project.
most projects can be done by a small team of competent people, in fact taht's the only way to reach top velocity and no body on this planet can prove me wrong.
these companies over-hired engineers to starve the competition, if you have all the talents doing busywork on doomed-from-the-start projects you'll just crush them and they won't work for your competition now or ever.
hr overhires to reach quota for black, women and disabled, whatever they do at their adult daycare won't matter, they're also here to justify spending money on real-estate.
the entire corporate world is based on larpers feelings important larping doing things that change the world, most people are worthless, even if you put them in the field they would have a really low yield, the world would fonction better if they were dead but that's a discussion noone is willing to have, this is observation that led to the creation of the npc figure over a century ago.
most people are less valuable that cattle and humanity will learn this hard way in the decades to come.
>>
>>108804285
this is all factually correct but
>most people are less valuable that cattle
human life has intrinsic value and the economy exists to serve humanity, not the other way around

Why do people desperately want good jobs (i.e. cozy fake email jobs) to disappear and bring back the shitty warehouse jobs that boomers told their children to go to college to avoid? The entire point of living in a first world country is leisure, this goes all the way back to the Greeks. The idea of a job being "fake" is not actually a big deal, someone who sends emails and makes PowerPoints is no more fake than someone working in a dildo factory. Feels like MAGA is fundamentally a 3rd worldist movement.

>>108805971
You shouldn't be making six figures making spreadsheets and sending emails.

>>108804964
Yeah I feel like on going crazy when people says shit like "AI will make humans obsolete!" Why would you want that? Do people really believe that uploading your consciousness to a computer is possible, or even desirable? These big tech CEO's are mostly anti-human and anti-life, why should we give them power?
