Cash under the table? AhhaAHHAHAhaHAHAHHAHAHAHaH

I found some articles where the CEO talks about the percentage of people he expects to take the deal and it's only 3 to 5%. With 60,000 people even at the top of the range that's only 3000.

That is still significant layoffs clearly indicating we are in a recession. But it's not the insanity of laying off a quarter of your staff.

So what they're doing is they are targeting older employees but they know they're going to get sued and they've been sued several times for targeting older employees and lost. They are hoping the triple whammy of announcing 60,000 offers combined with AI combined with the fact that frankly we are in a recession and you can prove that in court provided you take out the AI spending and that those three things combined will prevent them from getting hit with another judgment for age discrimination.

There is probably also some insourcing and outsourcing going on. Microsoft has been caught multiple times firing American employees and hiring h-1bs.

There are about config settings for tab width

Triggered much?

This story is about an ad.

Do you not read even the summary before posting?

They could just use AI to rewrite the scene for the rerelease...

Undocumented immigrants pay more in taxes than it costs to support them. They literally steal identities (or buy them anyway) and then use them to pay taxes because anything else would be suspicious. I have known about this since I was a teenager since I have an extremely common Hispanic name and someone used my SSN for this.

In my area the truckers most likely to kill me are loggers, and they are mostly sole proprietors. Unfortunately they are also all broke.

A bunch of people trying to get run the fuck over. I see tons of people walking or even biking while staring at their phone.

Some, sure. But not this much without the men with guns

Their replacements will be AI and they are already getting trained

No, it couldn't. It could be a steady one for a while, though.

Your comment is what's ignorant. Those flux core guys are some of the hardest to automate away because they are out in the field fixing stuff that's broken right now. The easy welding jobs to automate are ones done on assembly lines. Most of that is already done by machine, but not all of it, so that's what's getting automated next. After that it will be stuff like pipelines, where you have a huge number of similar welds to do. Getting down to the more ad hoc jobs will take longer.

California pistachios grown overwhelmingly in the Tulare Basin lowlands. The Tulare Basin lowlands get only 5-8 inches of precipitation per year (for comparison, Phoenix and Reno both get about 7 inches). As a desert is a region with less than 10 inches of rain per year, yes, pistachios are grown in the desert. Without irrigation projects the pistachio lands would be barren desert scrub. They get the water from deep wells (causing land subsidence, because they're not getting replenished), mountain rivers (which are overdrawn and under seasonal threat from diminishing winter snowpack accumulation), and water channeled all the way from the Oregon border. So much water has been channeled from rivers in the region that Tulare Lake, once the largest US lake west of the Mississippi, is usually largely dry.

Outside the San Joaquin valley, the other main ag centures are the Imperial Valley, Palo Verde Valley, Coachella Valley, and the Yuma Project, which are fed via Colorado River water which was overallocated by the Colorado River Compact. These are in the Colorado Desert, part off the Sonora Desert system.

The wealthy are going to try to eliminate everyone else, period. It will come to some places before others but they would truly like to get rid of most of us because they are fucking idiots who think they're geniuses. By the time they figure out they need us, it will be too late, but that's no consolation to the masses they will attempt to remove from the planet.
