Wasn’t the ~3% this summer the biggest layoff SAS has had?

No one will be surprised by another ~1% before or after the holidays. But SAS will not have another big one so soon, unless sales suddenly tank.

It's almost Q4. Time for the usual noise about reducing expenses etc. Meanwhile the big cheeses travel around the world on the company dime, eating at the best restaurants and staying at 5-star hotels.

@bk Can you explain? I know it’s said that AI may cause human extinction, but by what mechanism would that occur?

More interesting and bewildering things are happening elsewhere in the nation and world. The human race is nearing extinction. Hunker down but keep moving forward.

My guess/hope is we’ll have one more layoff before holiday season begins.
