I’m guessing it’s because he’s a prick. That’s is, isn’t it?

Good excuse to lay off without paying unemployment while power-tripping. That’s all these kinds of things usually are about.
LLMs for code completion cause me more button presses and clicks to ignore them over standard code completion and the chat doesn’t help people who think logically and conceptually only ones who think verbally. So, it’s useless to me.

Extremely doubtful that this would rise to a firing that was justified enough that would preclude the employees seeking unemployment. They would really want to have a longer paper trail than “CEO sent a slack message and then a meeting a week later.” Not saying that this was an illegal firing. This was just power tripping.

Nah, most employers have lots of stuff in their back pocket on almost every employee. That’s mostly what HR is for these days. But this is enough on its own to justify an insubordination firing in most “right to work” states in the US.

Aren’t ALL States “Right To Work For Less” ?

There’s nothing stopping them from firing you, but a one time offense will not get the government to deny you you unemployment, assuming you appeal any denial. Especially if the only other ammo they have is from five years ago.

You know who will be the slowest to adopt any Ai assistance? Senior devs. You know who this guy just fired? Senior devs. If you want to know the people you never want to fire, I have news for you.
