just quit on mass and save yourselves the time, it'll likely collapse the company as an added bonus

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 29 points 5 days ago (9 children)

The expression is "en masse". It's French for "in great quantity".

[–] HrabiaVulpes@europe.pub 9 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Americans can't do anything en masse.

Thy can, when it comes to their body weight lol

Great way to have half your staff quiet quit, and probably make at least a couple mad enough to really fuck some shit up.

Stupid tech bros think they are entitled to hard work and loyalty, they arent, it must be earned.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 23 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Employees quitting is the goal. If they get them to quit they don't have to pay unemployment.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 20 points 6 days ago

Quiet quitting is when you lazy it up until they fire you.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

yeah, so don't quit. just do the bare minimum and collect a paycheque. it's just treating them how they're treating you, it's fair

Better to start wasting the AI tokens and burn their AI budget with nothing to show for it.

Doesn't matter if they're mad or not. The company is demanding they use LLMs to vibe code their products, shit's about to be fucked even if they get on board.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 8 points 6 days ago

its also called constructive dismissal.

[–] Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 30 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Sweet. Time to stop giving a shit about work, and just shit at work. (Prepositions are amazing!)

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago (2 children)

A day without taking a shit at work is money in your boss's pocket.

This CEO prolly thinks he's generous cos he ain't firing them (yet) lol. So the peasant employees should be grateful for having still a job in the first place lol

[–] Newsteinleo@infosec.pub 6 points 5 days ago

They did four round of layoffs last year

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 18 points 6 days ago (2 children)

How this doesn't result in a class action lawsuit is beyond me.

Spineless cowards contributing to the death of the U.S. .

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

Class action lawsuits don't mean anything in the US ngl.

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Class action lawsuits + general strikes? I'm pretty sure that would mean a hell of a lot, especially to the people drowning in despair due to... the 'everything' situation.

[–] Smaile@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 days ago (3 children)

cool wake me up to when they actaully do that.

Because any money won is split amongst the members of the class action. So, the larger is literally pennies for the aggrieved, unless it’s literally $5 per member. Is that really motivating? $5 is a joke, what’s the value that’s worth a squeeze? $100?

it must be entirely coincidental that employee performance dropped by 10% across the board

Lol you get a 50k bonus, 50k anthropic credits that is lmao

[–] frog_brawler@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I just want to publicly state that we're substantially past the "2 weeks notice" era... just.. FYI for any folks that had not figured that out yet.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 5 days ago

Why the fuck should anyone feel compelled to give two weeks to a company that would never extend the same courtesy

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 25 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

a sign that a massive layoff is coming is: not having enough foronuses/raises, or if the ceo funds themselves with the cuts.

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 20 points 6 days ago

"AI" -> "CEO's bonus", when we put it through the translator.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 12 points 6 days ago

None of you are getting bonuses this year because we're heavily investing into replacing all of you

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Yep that's basically what they said at my job too.

[–] Quexotic@infosec.pub 6 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Can you name and shame them without doxing yourself?

United we stand, divided we fall. Gotta fight these pricks united.

[–] Amberskin@europe.pub 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Yup, the immediate response should be a walk out.

[–] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Immediately following by forming a union

[–] Amberskin@europe.pub 2 points 4 days ago

Not being union is, right now, laboral suicide.

[–] badgermurphy@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

I wish everyone treated this way the best of luck finding better employment as soon as possible, as everyone deserves better than this dehumanizing treatment.

I hope you can look down from your nice new offices very soon and smirk as you watch their AI investments flounder and fail in spectacular fashion, having known all along it would happen, just not exactly when.
