This is inane. If an employer hired most of these employees back it means that firing them negatively impacted the bottom line.
- Refreeze5224 1y agoIt just means they bought the hype and thought they could actually use AI to fire people. Many companies try to do it, and I don't know how many it works for. But I do know that companies fire people and stay short-staffed just to keep payroll down all the time. Even when externally that seems like a terrible idea, and likely impacts bottom line. It's important to realize just how much companies hate payroll. And AI is a great way to try to reduce it.
