This was always about destroying tech worker’s leverage to demand a decent quality of life in exchange for their work, never about “intelligence” of any kind, and the only thing that could have stopped it was unionization.

    Why at lower pay? I’d ask for more. The original employees already know the job, hiring and training someone new would cost way more.

      They are not rehiring the same people. The jobs either go offshore, or to new people for less $

        Thats also going to be more expensive than just keeping the same people. Its a sign of poor managment if they think otherwise.

          Quality of workers doesn’t really matter for big corporations. They are too big to fail. Same with quality of product.

          Windows is shitty. So is SAP. So is almost any product from big corpo.

          If the management thought a fancy text generator was going to magically replace human creativity and decision making, do you think we’re talking about good management?
