real question for the WFH peeps.

Have any of you felt the heat from tech layoffs yet? I'm curious about if AI blah blah blah is really affecting the knowledge workers yet.

Also, is knowledge worker the actual title some people go by? Seen it popping up in articles lately.

Nothing directly with AI. There is a lot of hype, companies seem to want to pivot to AI, but they don't really have a plan as to what that actually means other than wanting to be first.

There was a ton of buyouts and hiring before and during COVID, then interest rates went up so the stupid fun money dried up. Unfortunately CEOs realized firing a bunch of people makes the stock price go up.
