AI has been a really really hot topic at the company in the last month. Obviously it’s been a hot topic at the org for a few years now but they seem to really be pushing it extra hard the last month. Got word we are now in a hiring freeze of sorts and any role looking for backfills will now be reevaluated on if AI can take the place of that role. Are we headed towards another big layoff due to “automation” in the next few months? Been saving extra hard lately for fear of not having a job soon. Anyone hear of anything about layoffs soon?

This must be only in service. They are hiring for phones on specialized. It's on the outside page, I can't see internal. So if you are scared but love wayfair, apply for that.
Major layoff is on the way, I have heard that entire depts are doing. AI and offshore to replace the employees.
@OP if you are in sales, sell all you can. Especially during wayday. Pick up all the ot you can regardless of position. I think there will be some layoffs coming after that.
Didnt know we were a freeze- sounds like a layoff is imminent
