AI being deployed to cap future wages/layoffs of new recruits [View all]
Saw this post on Reddit, so can't verify. But if true, it is truly chilling for people who are investing in careers.
The OP says his wife works in a recruiting firm where they are testing out a new AI system.
This company specializes in reducing overhead cost by designing inhumane incentive structures. My wife watched first hand as they piloted this on a Senior Manager of IT hire....
This company designed a system for each function and proactively plans headcount reduction by function and business unit. What this means is, they’ve already planned to lay this poor guy off 2.5yrs in to his tenure leaving him with 2.5 years of a low base salary. This also helps lower the average salary at the senior manager level, furthering their case to lower wages across the board.

This is brutal. How do you plan for a career under these conditions? I feel absolutely gutted for young people trying to figure this stuff out.
