  my company of 50 went down to 22 because of “AI productivity gainz” - then we had the biggest dip in client retention in its 11 year history and those clients that do remain all have massive issues with getting what they want and there are constant “fire drills” to keep them happy.

  Bragging about leaving people who deserve better jobless, avoiding the use of humanizing language (mentions the resumes, makes sure not to mention “quality” people).

  About as bad as the last company I worked at, a VP would say folks who were laid off were “promoted to customers”.

    I do hope there’s a special place in hell for people like this, where they are spanked for all eternity with a soup spoon.

  This is the type of “dickery” that surpasses all measurement, the one that is, honest to god, trying to be nice.

  In short, he’s really, REALLY stupid.

  Living it right now. Me: “We’ve sold off or had resignations from ¾ of our engineering” Boss: “We’ll rebuild”.

  Also Boss: “Our value is in our people”.

  Oh yeah Timmy? Who’s hiring them in this industry, let alone this economy? Go fuck yourself.

  It really didn’t take him long to spend what little goodwill he got for punching Apple in the mouth.

  A little irrelevant but I saw a reel saying Tim saves Amazon forests with his own money. Apparently he has bought a lot of land there only for the sole purpose of saving Amazon. Can anyone fact check this?

    Apparently he bought it so he can steal endangered animals and make them fight in a “death arena” in his back garden. Please don’t fact check this, just accept it is true.

    I don’t know about the Amazon, but he does own huge amounts of land in North Carolina which he has protected and/or donated to conservation schemes.

  employers LLM screening bots will see (and swiftly reject) a stream of résumés (regardless) of once-in-a-lifetime quality

  Should have kept the employees and offered them as consultants, packaged as loot boxes.

  He doesn’t say that they’re good quality. Just, once in a lifetime quality. Interpretation is up the reader.

    A lot of big tech companies have just said the people fired suck (I.e calling it “performance based layoffs) to hide that they’ve needed to hit the brake hard.

  • Deestan@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Combined with “…so we fired them on the spot”, this should count as defamation.

  Nah, Lil’ Timmy, your former employees are about to see a “stream of blood”.
