Goodness, we are down another damn 5 percent on more AI misgivings

Is Rick going to put on his big boy pants and go on CNBC to talk about the AI mess causing the stock slide? Or is he going to run and bring in the mercenaries

AI can't compare to the lost institutional knowledge. I'll be here with popcorn the day everything starts going to he-l and leadership finally realizes that.

She said she was implemented AI into her workflows… oh really? Give me 1 example of how you’re doing this

Also, I like how Mike avoided the question about AI taking jobs. He refused to specifically say if AI would or would not take jobs

Can't integrate out tools and acquisition but bring AI in to fix everything

Cisco stopped calling out LRs but these are happening. Splunk, security and CX are targets with negative growth, and AI doing more of their work. Please comment as you know these actions this week.

Baker McKenzie announced plans to cut approximately 700 business services staff. The firm cited artificial intelligence as a reason for these reductions. The article questions if AI is truly the cause or an excuse. AI is not directly replacing Biglaw lawyers internally. Client use of AI and smaller firms leveraging it may reduce Biglaw's need for lawyers.

Any chance that India or the Philippines could keep Kerrins while she executes her global cheerleading tour? Many I believe would agree that AI could replace her role and save millions . Or a lower paid CIO in India could do the job since much of it is done in India and the person would be smarter.

People are really underestimating how much AI is driving job cuts. Salesforce reportedly used AI agents to lay off 5,000 employees across marketing, product management, data analytics, and even its own Agentforce AI division.

E.W. Scripps Co. is expecting to make layoffs in the near future as the company, which operates more than 60 local TV stations in the U.S., has embarked on a plan aimed at boosting adjusted earnings by up to $150 million over the next three years.

Remember folks, there is no such thing as loyalty in Corporate America for its customers, workers, or even its brand: just the shareholders. Our salaries are only based on how hard it is to replace us and with AI and increased offshoring we are seen more as a burden and expense than as an asset. Ive been with this company for 25+ years. When I started it was preached that the lower pay was because the company was a place where if you worked hard, they would invest in your development, you can advance, and your job security was pretty high because where we like a family. That was true for the first 15 years of my career here, the workplace culture was excellent. That drastically changed since the end of the pandemic. Im hoping to make it a few more years before a RIF so I can just retire. I feel bad for those having to deal with this here or any major company in the United States. Get ready for two major items in the next 6 months: Major RIFs/layoffs and a full return to office mandate. If you don't come back to the office because you believed the company a few years ago about living wherever you wanted and being able to work or work life balance, you might want to start looking for a new job/career now. If you are an office or hybrid worker, new tech is coming to help HR track you better even if your manager is located in a completely different office or continent. AI is getting better and offshoring is increasing. The talk about doing the "right thing" has been stifled if it does not align with the new "model." The only thing that will make this company improve its workers culture is if the economy, job markets, and competition improve, and until there is a new administration, I doubt that will happen.

So our three year plan to regain the number one spot is:

• using AI. Yet Service Now, Hercules, Chip and Clip, etc have been unmitigated disasters. Everyone hates them. And it makes are jobs so much harder.
• Hiring in Hubs: the hub employees are some of the worst I’ve seen in the ten years I’ve worked here.
• getting rid of utilizing agents office for the digital experience. But our systems are trash and our older insureds don’t want to bother with it.

I look forward to the next 3 year plan to take back the number 2 spot from Geico once they pass us up.

I'm not trying to be a Debbie downer here, but AI is no where near artificial intelligence but more of a language mirror able to apply some logic. But Centene seems overly gung ho to implement it everywhere. My team has been getting Chatgpt responses to emails for over a month and now copilot??? We're just going to ignore the environmental factors??? I'm sure our members will find it so easy to stay health when there's no f***ing water to drink. Well, those members that can still afford their healthcare that is

Scripps is preparing for potential layoffs as part of a significant cost-cutting and revenue growth plan. The company intends to implement new strategies, including the use of artificial intelligence and automation. These measures are designed to enhance operational efficiency and reduce expenditures. While layoffs are anticipated, the specific number of affected roles has not been disclosed. The headline indicates a strategic shift for Scripps to adapt to the evolving media landscape.

Unless they are stopped, they will continue to force low ratings, terminations, removed merit amongst other things. They plan alot more cuts in 2026 and think they will be AI leaders in the industry when we have to work off systems over 30 years old cause they refuse to upgrade them. FOH. Dont let them get away with it people. Save all prior performance now and challenge any bs ratings

Anyone else been forced to attend this rushed mess?

Its like Dev Days but with external sales people mixed in, and its been a complete sh-t show. I dont think Ive learned a single thing that I couldnt have gathered from a basic google search. We are blocking off thousands of peoples time for multiple for this, hired a hype man, and are paying consultants to come pitch AI generated slide decks to IT people.

What on earth is going on? Hard to take any of the cost savings talk seriously when we pi-s away money like this

Mercilessly spending $200B in capital on large scale data centers, mass layoffs replacing workers with AI, billion dollar outages, slumping stock prices, earnings misses, RTO policing. Welcome to the Jassy's AI playground.

Simple search tells you about it. Chevron and other companies use “Aware” software to monitor us. Consider this an OE moment

AI Innovation -

1) Software Firms.

2) Private Credit Firms.

3) Insurance Brokerage Firms.

4) Wealth-Management Firms.

While AI contributes many useful innovations towards society, and will create (some) related jobs.

The stocks of those respective industries are (currently) being sold-off within the Global markets.

The unemployment rate will increase (along with layoffs) the U.S. National debt (currently) at $38.7 Trillion (and rising) per usdebtclock will have (less) contributions from U.S. taxpayers (in general) unless Corporations, and the wealthy; pay more.

This list is going (not if) expand over time, if the job is computer dependent; AI can (and will) take its' place.

Dan is replacing you with outsourced reps. AI is an excuse.

So jobs can be moved offshore. Hope everyone reads through this ploy.

The execs should be laid off first. Just plug in some kind of AI, it'll do a better job.

Layoffs are impacting the tech sector and other industries. Companies are simultaneously increasing investments in artificial intelligence systems. This trend is redefining productivity and staffing requirements across various businesses. Dow announced global job cuts linked to efficiency initiatives and AI use. Acrisure also confirmed layoffs due to AI-enabled systems.

Telecommunications giant Telstra and consulting firm Accenture are proposing to slash hundreds of roles from their data and AI joint venture, with some work to be offshored to India.

Telstra’s $700 million joint venture, one of the biggest AI investments by an Australian company to date, said on Tuesday it proposed to cut 209 jobs.
The venture, announced in January last year, is aimed at rolling out AI capabilities across Telstra to improve its business processes, chief executive Vicki Brady saying at the time it would build specialised AI tools for its teams to “work smarter and faster”.

A spokesperson for the joint venture confirmed on Tuesday evening that it would be reducing roles “where work is no longer needed” and moving some of its work to the joint venture team in India which, they said, had advanced AI expertise and a specialist hub that could deliver Telstra’s data and AI roadmap more quickly.

“We anticipate that over time, this would result in improved cost efficiencies
and bring an enhanced experience to Telstra’s customers,” the spokesperson said. <-- In this employee's opinion, it would only be a negative enhancement.

the reporter asked Eliza which bank has the best AI technology and Eliza answered JPM and GS. oops
lmaooooo

Artificial intelligence significantly impacts the American workforce. AI is cited as a reason for thousands of layoffs across various companies. Amazon, Dow, and Pinterest are among those cutting jobs due to AI. Conversely, demand for workers with generative AI skills is rapidly increasing. These AI-skilled roles offer significantly higher salaries than similar positions.

We have invested so much on an awesome team and leadership in PC chips

What does this mean for the US jobs?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSftRrNhdKg

We “must” all lean into AI and it’s now a “core leadership competency.”

Honestly I’m more upset about AI being forced down our throats than about RTO. Anyone else?

MW and JG talking about AI like it's going to change their world.

Maybe it is. We see it in other parts of the world, part of people's day to day. It takes talent, and the talent is leaving.

If I had to guess, the average PSG of the AI team is probably not higher than 22.
All the people working on the data have also exited the company because of the BS and lack of confidence in our completely disconnected leaders.

JG and LC would rather spend tens of millions of dollars on BCG and McKinsey or EY rather than just pay a fraction of that to retain the talent that was here.

The world's best AI practitioners are not dinosaurs like the consultants with MBAs that JG and LC are bringing in. and the ENGINE strategy for AI is a fantasy at best. It's sad that these leaders have completely neutered what was a team with good talent.

No one wants to work for these puppets guided by management consultants who have practically zero experience in AI. If you're using the same consultants who have been here over a decade or two, what are the chances that they know what they're doing?

Tough times are ahead because of H1Bs + AI + work going offshore.

So, sell your home(s), and stock(s) (if they are in profit) and keep cash to survive the tough time.

The current AI is not intelligence because intelligence invents something new and innovates but the current AI has done nothing of these.

So, although AI may replace some jobs (routine jobs) but it can't replace those jobs where intelligence is required for inventing/innovating something new.

If you have one, great. If not, start expanding your skills.

While the tech industry obsesses over expensive chips, massive datasets and multi-year payback periods, DXC has taken a fundamentally smarter approach to AI.

Here is why:

1. Zero capital investment. You are thinking AI requires billions in GPUs, memory and infrastructure, right? No, DXC’s Xponential AI requires none of that. It runs on a platform already deployed across all enterprises: MS PowerPoint.

2. Immediate time to value. You are told most AI programs take months to train and years to deliver results, right? No, again. DXC’s AI has been delivering outcomes since day one, often within the same fiscal quarter, as evidenced in their quarterly shareholder reports.

3. Superior efficiency. No scarce hardware. No energy costs. No model training. Just slides, bullet points and strategic fonts. From a compute-per-outcome perspective, it’s unmatched.

4. Built-in Explainability. Unlike black-box models, DXC’s AI is fully explainable. Every decision, assumption and conclusion is clearly documented - on slide 37 of the latest customer deck.

5. Proven ROI. Other AI investments promise future productivity gains. DXC’s AI delivers instant and measurable returns by fast-tracking executive bonuses within the same annual compensation cycle. The impact is immediate and repeatable.

6. Scalable by design. As demand grows, DXC Xponential AI capacity scales effortlessly. They simply add more slides. True exponential growth.

DXC didn’t chase the AI hype cycle. It leapfrogged it by realizing the fastest path to value isn’t Artificial Intelligence but Artificial Innovation.

I have seen the futute of AI and ML and it doesn't include you. If you work in the desktop/server space, probably the lower levels of networking, then its time to retrain for a new career outside of IT.
Sorry to be blunt but your roles are already being automated by better companies than DXC, companies that have invested in AI and ML from early on.

unless you have the skills TR deem important i.e AI, we can forget pay increases from now on. Awards are minimal to zero even if achieved. An exceeded might get you a bit more
