My current company recently had a huge round of layoffs. When I asked what leadership planned to do about the hit to morale, we were told we need to ask ourselves whether we really want to be here. I just tendered my two weeks’ notice.
I swear, such stories seem as if all these bosses really expected to become some sort of Soviet directors. There’s no way they can expect this shit to work in a market economy.
Maybe they really believe into that “replace everyone with AI” thing.
Then we’ll see evolution at work.
I don’t know why I feel that urge to compare what happens with western societies today to USSR. Probably has similarities with the moment when Soviet space dream found its’ model’s ceiling of capability.
