Profits are way up! Lets jettison almost half the work force right now so we're not just delaying the inevitable.

Wow. That's a first, right?

Aaaand, who's to say that in a year or so, another 3000 employees are redundant, so maybe the inevitable hasn't been delayed at all?

I can't even imagine what it must be like to be working in a tech-rich sector right now.

(In a previous life I used photoshop to create digital images. Because of AI, what could take a day or longer can now be done in seconds. Literally. The job I made a pretty decent living at for a couple of decades no longer exists.)
