fwiw this happens regardless of AI or offshoring or whatever. my old employer was bought out, and the senior staff trickled out the door over the years as the working environment got more frustrating. i heard from a friend who still works there that the product has been having "rolling brownouts" for months that "nobody can figure out" which sounds exceedingly bleak - it's just a saas product for crying out loud. so you're right - but whether it's AI/offshoring with layoffs, or just regular churn with no plan to train people up to replace the knowledge that leaves, the result is the same, which is a degraded product that eventually falls apart. and yea, who cares if you're not in it for the long haul.
