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.
