    They not firing them for AI. It’s just a justification to fire because they over hired, atleast in the tech industry when money was cheap.

      record profits after laying off HORDES of tech workers. and then hire only a small amount “senior” experience tech workers and probably low wage workers from other countries and then rinse and repeat.
