Why are we pushing for AI when automation is what they are looking for?
I’ve noticed that leaders keep pushing for AI when we actually need more automation. AI is not deterministic and is a struggle to implement. If they want correct answers 100% of the time, why not implement automations instead? Makes no sense…

I'm the last one standing somehow
In the last seven or eight years, I've been on teams with roughly thirty different people. Every single one of them has been let go. Every single one except for me. I should be happy that I'm still employed but I'm the opposite. The whole thing feels... — read more

Trash Day? Layoffs Tomorrow?
Do layoffs work like trash days? When there is a holiday, trash pick-up comes a day later than the regular scheduled day. Monday was a holiday this week. Does that mean layoffs will be Friday, May 29 instead of Thursday, May 28?
