Why are we still employing “baristas”? All of these businesses should be modernized with AI. Ordering can be done by the customer who inputs the specific product and ingredients then much like a vending machine the beverage is made and dispensed.
We don’t need people with blue hair, nose rings and a they/them attitude sc--wing up our orders anymore.

I’m trying to figure out how currently WF workforce is split. In December total employees count was about 216000. In January it is already 210000. I wonder what is a percentage US vs India &Co?
The other question is what’s the ration (pay wise). US vs India? It used to be 1:4 but I believe that offshore pays went up.
Final question, now that 2025 numbers were communicated to masses, how many resignations there will be after pay on 2/13 ( true ones not the ones from keyboard warriors)?
There's is around 22k BNY employees in India and 23k in US... The former is increasing while latter decreasing...
10k layoffs here, 12k there, and so on?

Q1 and Q2
Last August, T-Mobile made the mistake of retaining a good portion of the US Cellular workforce, especially the field technicians who have zero technical skills, are overpaid, constantly complain, and make comparisons to “the way they did it at US Cellular,” even though it is inconsequential. There are markets that are over indexed due to this additional “workforce” and it is likely that good T-Mobile employees will be terminated with the slugs remaining here in the near future. If the leadership had any bit of intelligence, they would dump those US Cellular slugs now and try to get back to the way the company was operating prior to both the Sprint and US Cellular disasters that are destroying the company
What is the target reduction?
