Our managers keep telling us not to worry but we are right to worry.
Do you know what is the trillion Euro problem that AI is trying to solve?
Wages!
The main reason to use AI is to replace a human so they can be laid off and instead of a person who has actual rights, rich executives get supporters and AI who does what they want.
Over the last few years, I have noticed that SAP is dehumanizing the humans and humanizing AI. Claude is a "HE" now as if it is a person. They are called agents as if they have agency like humans. And humans are called resources. DA referred to us as plaque and wanted a tooth-brushing exercise. Many areas refer to employees only as FTE or resources or headcount and not as employees. And the board keeps saying that salaries and benefits are the third highest "cost" to the company.
They started with voluntary layoffs. And the next thing to come is involuntary layoffs. Do not trust your area executives. They are incentivized to save costs so the savings can go to their own bank accounts as bonuses. And they have been trying very very hard with hr and works council to lay off employees. So layoffs are inevitable. Don't fool yourself into thinking you are safe. And stop allowing executives to divide us. This is not a race war. This is a class war - a war waged by the rich against the poor.
