I'm still slightly peeved about an old CEO that was all about "making data driven decisions" but when people presented data he didn't like he'd ignore it.

"Hey a couple studies are showing that 4 day work weeks are a net positive, do you-"

"We're not doing that "

"But look at this data."

" Next question."

This is why we need to replace humans workers with AI starting at the top instead of the bottom.

Is this "company culture" in the room right now?

Ok, I ate the onion on this one.

That's because at least one CEO has said this exact statement.

I mean, I assume the real article left out the "3rd round of layoffs" part.

[–] Xin_shill@lemm.ee 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Because I swear I’ve read similar statements. Ate the fuck out of this onion

[–] DickFiasco@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

To be fair, this is like an expert-level difficulty onion.

Uh, this is basically real news though. Even just this week my company asked why people aren't taking risks and submitting "side projects" and what they don't want to hear is "because four rounds of layoffs in a year has absolutely crushed anyone's willingness to do so?"

The tears are made by cutting onions.

Holy moly was that reductress site ever shite with the popups and video ads.

I've never been without ad block, but I'm not surprised they put a lot of ads bc I doubt they would be making any money enough to hire someone without having like 15 banner ads. Satire is not exactly a monied industry.
