Businesses who bought the line are suffering from it. IBM should have been the first indicator, but we keep seeing companies who dont know what they are talking about or doing, attempting to adopt it to reduce costs through employee reduction.
But that isnt how it works, and the costs are larger than the replacement human. They keep trying to find a bullet to destroy the workforce, and those that remove people without understanding what they are doing are the ones people should note, as they are not serious about the job or their employees.
Ford was the latest to flubb this, but there have been and will be others. Stock holders should take note on what CEOs pull triggers without understanding or being lied to by their teams, because those are the bad CEOs.
IBM was the smartest, studying it, trying it out, but deciding to hire MORE people because they foresaw the Executives getting it wrong over and over again.
