Our company laid off about 7% of employees, all because management believed the hype that AI would increase productivity. In the end, it turned out to be a real disaster.

I work at a bank, and my company recently laid off many important people, especially senior staff in tech and regulatory affairs. Now our core systems constantly crash with no clear way to fix them, and all the expertise that was in the company has disappeared, so no one knows how to find answers to complex problems, and everyone is overworked. I sincerely hope that this disaster ultimately comes back to haunt those at the top, because these grand ideas about AI clearly will never materialize, and it's always the poor employees who pay the price. Honestly, I hate what AI is doing to workplaces.

My manager is still interviewing candidates for a position that's already filled, and her justification is that she's supposed to show "competition" to the existing team. I don't know what to say.

And what's worse? She also tells every candidate that she'll get back to them.

My stomach hurts thinking about this. I genuinely feel bad for all these people whose hopes are being falsely raised. This whole situation is very wrong.
