Last year it was something else, the year before, something else. How much is the CEO getting as bonus to lie to his employees?

So, they are giving everyone a cut, effectively.
Not giving a raise means that everyone loses to inflation, so everyone essentially gets a pay cut for the privilege to continue working for this company.

This is so stupid. At my new company our bonuses are tied to how much we use AI. People who have no programming experience are being allowed to vibe code new solutions and deploy them to prod. In fact, these people have no test environment to work out bugs even if they knew how. I've given up trying to make my coworkers realize this is a bad idea. This is a decent size international company by the way.

I’m hoping your company does something bullshit like marketing and not something critical like airplane control software…

Unfortunately, no. It's a computer hardware manufacturing company. I can't say any more than that or I might dox myself.

They also did a huge stock buy back last year to prop up their stock.

as if they were gonna get wages if there was no AI. This is just another excuse they found.

Not enough to keep up with inflation though.

Everyone should quit.

Don't even need to do that yet... Everyone needs to just not show up for a day. Call in sick. Demonstrate how well the company can operate on AI without them.

Fuck the gipity. Smash Gipity... The Gipity, The corpos grift... shrinking the economy pushing out us as partners only for us to watch in horror as the useful idiots of empire bomb children and do what big daddy capitalist tells them to do via a volunteer army. The gipity ain't doing so well but the corpos got bunkers and they measure their own success as they place cameras on every street and build up the dragnet. With dual purpose the suck out the cash out the money system and spend it as fast as they can while they blame the chat bot. All the self preservers celebrate their record profits as ol bernie boy thinks it is so grand... don't you want in like 50%. Gipity is a turd sandwich. It is not what you think it is. What it is is for real for real the beginning of the end. The public dominated as they find themselves without a pot to piss in dominated by people who have sex with kids licking the boots as imperial slaves. The corpos took your money not the gipity
