92% of lawyers say they work the same amount or more since they started using AI

Why?

- Lawyers say they have an unlimited supply of work. There's always more to be done.

- AI causes more corrective work.

- Many still bill by the hour. Getting done faster doesn't pay.

Oracle uses loophole in WARN Act to classify laid off workers as remote

As if the Oracle layoff story wasn't bad enough, they avoided a WARN Act violation by classifying hybrid employees as remote.

Was reading this article about the Oracle layoff. Apparently the WARN Act requires 2 months notice when laying off 50 or more people from the same location.

"The WARN Act is a law that requires companies conducting mass layoffs to give employees two months notice prior to letting them go. It’s triggered when 50 or more people are impacted at one location. By classifying employees as remote workers, the minimum location requirements can be sidestepped.

Some people were unaware they were classified as remote workers, because they were near an office and worked on a hybrid schedule."

The workers also attempted to negotiate severance packages to be more in line with what other tech companies have done. Oracle declined to negotiate.
