I was one of those 7000 Disney+ workers laid off last year. Still haven't found anything 😕

Also, why the fuck does Bumble have 1200 employees?!? They're a freaking dating app! I figured they maybe had 100 employees.

The AI is the most ridiculous one. In an ideal world politicians should call their bluff and introduce UBI and get the money from additional tax on corporate revenue.

"Another major factor survey respondents cited was artificial intelligence. Around four in 10 leaders said they would conduct layoffs as they replace workers with AI. Dropbox, Google, and IBM have already announced job cuts related to AI."

That's a sell cue, for any shareholders reading along here.

Best economy in the world! Unemployment levels haven't been this low in years!
