Anyone else privy to the new policy that roles can’t be backfilled or hired until you prove why AI can’t do the role? And then you have to go and justify your position to MAV and ME, for them to approve.

As a cost cutting measure both sites are now under one leadership team. The next step is to start eliminating duplicate roles.
