My company continues to cut benefits left and right and communicates them to us as if they are wins for the workforce. That’s more infuriating than the cuts themselves. How does your employer communicate to you? Like you’re an intelligent adult? Or like you’re a moron?

"So the bad news is, we slashed your healthcare benefits, but the good news is, this will free up a lot of cash for us to invest in AI that will ultimately take your jobs!" How ridiculously tone deaf. I gripe about work more than I should, but I'm at least treated like a functioning adult instead of someone who can be blatantly gaslit into thinking losing benefits is somehow a good thing.
