For the last few months, they've been training an absolutely useless AI to replace themselves.
They made all the managers wait till later in the day to come into work so they could be fired separately. Of course, they kept the one manager who lives in a place with underpaid labor, where they are offshoring the work for managing this new AI to near-slaves.
Of course they were told not to go posting about it on social media, and I couldn't find anything yet, so I took it upon myself. What a trash company that doesn't care about its people one bit.
