Thread regarding Canon Inc. layoffs

AI is not replacing people

So this was just a “let’s sell you on AI” meeting?
This spin is infuriating. Don’t pi-s on my leg and tell me it’s raining.
AI already took jobs. Just because they were taken first doesn’t mean AI didn’t replace them. In a way I guess it’s true because those who are still employed just have the additional burden of trying to get the job done - until AI can learn. But leadership will keep repeating that it’s not taking jobs. Maybe if we keep hearing it we will believe it?
And are we really bragging that 3 employees were “repurposed” so people start feeling safe?
Just stop. It’s insulting.

Here’s what you can start doing:
Be honest about what the vision is for this company and who has a true future with Canon. Give people the resources to develop marketable skills and move on if your long term plan does not include them. People have families to raise.

Probably just as well anyone bailed after either 15 minutes after hearing an incoherent speaker who struggles with English. It likely was good time to use a restroom and relieve yourself. Now that's putting it into proper perspective.

@b1 Don't blame you at all. Talk about impeding productivity? These brain dead presenters are just that: brain dead.

That presenter guy is not a good public speaker. I clicked out after 15 minutes, I got so bored and needed to do actual work.
