When a company fires 25% of a group dedicated to people, it really makes you zoom all the way out and look at the state of the world. Is the goal of AI to make the dumb dumber and the smart smarter? Companies need divisions dedicated to the unique needs of humans but in a world where we care more about technology than the body that built it, is this the new normal?

Like HR? HR is not for “humans” . It is for executives of that company. Of all groups, HR should be reduced

True. HR will protect the company not the employee.

It's always been profits over people, "tech" just happens to be the latest and most lucrative path to said profits.

Fired or laid off? I feel like there's a big difference. Laying off 25% of HR isn't the worst thing in the world. Saying HR is a group dedicated to people is a wild take haha

it wasnt all HR though. People and places encompassed a lot of role types.

the framing of dumb dumber / smart smarter isn't quite right though. what's happening is companies are cutting roles they think AI can absorb, but the people-facing judgment stuff -- context, empathy, navigating ambiguity -- is exactly where AI falls short. the gap isn't intelligence, it's skill type.
