So the outrage over layoff is being blamed on "AI" but is actually "companies firing and rehiring, rather than spend anything on training?"
In a world in which unions existed thie might work differently.
- elevatedastalt 3y agoI am scared of layoffs as much as the next guy but the "invest in training" story is not possible at all when employees can jump ship with 0 friction.
- malfist 3y agoMaybe, perhaps maybe, you make an environment where they don't want to jump ship at the drop of a hat. Say, like maybe providing on the job training
