Doubt it. The plan is to rehire them at less money with less benefits once their savings are gone. It’s already happening, salaries are down already. I’m starting to see 80-100k ranges for senior developers.
it’s also resulting in fresh grads that don’t know anything. this is naturally by design. within the past couple years I’ve come across so many new devs that just don’t know jack. can they answer tickets? sure. can they provide prompts to an agent? yes. beyond that? good luck. and their salaries reflect this.
No one is firing workers for AI. They’re correcting the size of their workforce after decades of overhiring and using AI as an excuse — to make it look like a good, forward-looking business decision, instead of showing that it’s fixing a mistake that went on for so long.
Nah I’m sorry you’re dead wrong. My last job we straight up got rid of 95% of our HR department and all of our interns and were replaced with ChatGPT Enterprise licenses. Then they laid off the graphic design department and left just the head of the department and 2 staff. Then I was laid off alongside over half of the IT department.
If your company did indeed lay off 95% of HR and replaced it with ChatGPT you need to find another job somewhere like now. They are about two lawsuits from not existing.
Lmao so you know better than what I saw my company actually do? You’re absolutely out to lunch. I wasn’t told any of this. I watched it happen. Log off and delete your account 🤡.
Every company that fires people for AI is going to regret it so much in the long run…
But…line go up for next quarter right?

Still a short term win. Longer term, this will likely kill youth appetite for pursuing dev as a career option.

They’ve already had a spate of serious, unprecedented outages affecting half the internet.
So I guess that means the only place to go from there is to double down, eh?

Had you read all the words in my comment, you’d see I’m no longer at that job.
I understand what you were told, but none of those functions are being replaced by AI, they functionally cannot be.
