Technology has always disrupted companies but it’s not all doom and gloom.

IKEA recently replaced 8,500 customer service reps with AI but rather than laying them off, they turned them into interior design assistant for customers. And they saw 1.4B increase in revenue from that decision.

So far when companies announce this, it’s not because they are embracing AI and they’ve made efficiencies.

Snapchat isn’t doing layoffs because they’ve embraced AI. They’re feeling the weight of fake content and having to pay more moderators to clean that up, more investment in AI than social media, and failed bets on hardware.

Feel bad for everyone affected but Evan Spiegel ran the company into the ground

laying off 1250 people and forcing everyone who didnt get laid off to make a post "offering support" doesnt make it better that you failed to plan appropriately and view your employees as dispensable when the going gets rough.

Dont buy into the propaganda these tech firms are putting out. And dont be that person with stockholm syndrome thanking your employer for a "great experience" when they threw you to the wolves as soon as it suited them.

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
