AI bonuses, unfortunately, do not translate to job security for employees in other divisions.

      15k to ruin someone’s livelihood? I’ll take 2000, please!

      Man what a great system.

        We gotta give them a huge tax break too! That way it’ll trickle down straight into the CEO’s pocket!

      So the company still gained, but with that money they could have cut 300 less employees and that would have been 300 people making 100k/year instead of one guy making 30.6m more…

    When CEOs say they feel it when they need to do layoffs, I think they mean in their wallets.

    I don’t think the board pays CEOs according to how many jobs they save. I don’t know where you got that idea.

    In fact I’m pretty sure that the more people they get rid of, the better paid they are.
