just quit on mass and save yourselves the time, it'll likely collapse the company as an added bonus
The expression is "en masse". It's French for "in great quantity".
Americans can't do anything en masse.
Thy can, when it comes to their body weight lol
That's more en massif
Eat
On mass is literally en masse in English . . .
It literally isn't. Literally, "on" doesn't translate to "en", as it literally means "in". Literally, the "masse" in French here doesn't refer to literal "mass" as in a quantity of literal matter to be literally measured, but literally an uncountable concept like a literal crowd, for example.
So, which mass are you quitting on?
And in any case, to be literally correct the expression taken from another literal language should be literally italicized.
This CEO prolly thinks he's generous cos he ain't firing them (yet) lol. So the peasant employees should be grateful for having still a job in the first place lol
They did four round of layoffs last year
Lol you get a 50k bonus, 50k anthropic credits that is lmao
Sweet. Time to stop giving a shit about work, and just shit at work. (Prepositions are amazing!)
Time to slack off and deliver the minimum possible then
And blame the LLMs for all mistakes it makes. Since the management clearly cares more about it than the employees.
it must be entirely coincidental that employee performance dropped by 10% across the board
To date, I have not heard a single CEO talk about where the money will come from if no one is employed.
How can consumers consume if they don't have any money?
that's for someone else to worry about.
Seriously if you talk to these people they live their lives financial quarter by quarter. there's no plan for 2+ years down the line, they can't think that far ahead. They're all like this. It's all about the now. make money now, release a product now, no future, no updates, now now now. This is why LLM's appeal so much to them, it can provide that "now" that they crave.
When there's a 20 million dollar golden parachute when fail why would you care about the next quarter...
Because these drug and AI addled idiots refuse to or can't think more than a quarter ahead at a time. As there are no consequences for the executive caste, why should they?
Great way to have half your staff quiet quit, and probably make at least a couple mad enough to really fuck some shit up.
Stupid tech bros think they are entitled to hard work and loyalty, they arent, it must be earned.
probably make at least a couple mad enough to really fuck some shit up.
Doesn't matter if they're mad or not. The company is demanding they use LLMs to vibe code their products, shit's about to be fucked even if they get on board.
Employees quitting is the goal. If they get them to quit they don't have to pay unemployment.
Quiet quitting is when you lazy it up until they fire you.
yeah, so don't quit. just do the bare minimum and collect a paycheque. it's just treating them how they're treating you, it's fair
Better to start wasting the AI tokens and burn their AI budget with nothing to show for it.
"Here's a list of 4000 cities. can you generate the order in which to visit them. Assume trasportation by car and find the exact cheapest order."
Saved you a click
Teradata, a global cloud software company, told its 5,100 employees in January not to expect an annual salary raise this year as it reallocate the budget toward AI investments, according to an internal memo seen by Business Insider and not previously reported.
How much of a raise will the CEO get?
CEO later added: the exec team is still getting a raise though.
The company I work for did this last year.
Unfortunately the tech industry can get away with this shit because the job market is a fucking nightmare and tech bros all think they're too smart/skilled to need a union (neither of which is true).
Yep that's basically what they said at my job too.
Can you name and shame them without doxing yourself?
Not sure; probably not.
That's fair. Maybe look to your local unions?
They will give you resources to unionize.
a sign that a massive layoff is coming is: not having enough foronuses/raises, or if the ceo funds themselves with the cuts.
United we stand, divided we fall. Gotta fight these pricks united.
Yup, the immediate response should be a walk out.
Immediately following by forming a union
Not being union is, right now, laboral suicide.
"AI" -> "CEO's bonus", when we put it through the translator.
I wish everyone treated this way the best of luck finding better employment as soon as possible, as everyone deserves better than this dehumanizing treatment.
I hope you can look down from your nice new offices very soon and smirk as you watch their AI investments flounder and fail in spectacular fashion, having known all along it would happen, just not exactly when.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
