    I’m still slightly peeved about an old CEO that was all about “making data driven decisions” but when people presented data he didn’t like he’d ignore it.

    “Hey a couple studies are showing that 4 day work weeks are a net positive, do you-”

    "We’re not doing that "

    “But look at this data.”

    " Next question."

      This is why we need to replace humans workers with AI starting at the top instead of the bottom.

      That’s because at least one CEO has said this exact statement.

        I mean, I assume the real article left out the “3rd round of layoffs” part.

    Uh, this is basically real news though. Even just this week my company asked why people aren’t taking risks and submitting “side projects” and what they don’t want to hear is “because four rounds of layoffs in a year has absolutely crushed anyone’s willingness to do so?”
