      If they think they can replace IT workers with AI, they are going to have a bad time.

      Starbucks did the same today. Tech boom is over. Lot of supply of software engineers in the last decade. Now enrollments dropping again to correct to demand.

      they’ll cut IT now and in 6 months panic-hire contractors at triple the cost when everything breaks

      IT is just always seen as a unnecessary cost until shit hits the fan and your entire infrastructure is held by ransomware or some other critical infrastructure issue that will end up costing more than a competent IT staff ever would.

      God forbid chief executive salaries are reigned in so the people actually doing the work live like how they did 50 years ago.

      Who does General Failures think will fix it when all the high tech whizbangs crash? Desk jockey executives? Keep buying Japanese and German cars if you want to stay on the road.

      If things are going so well then ask yourselves, when’s the last time you’ve seen a headline talking about hiring surges?

      This is like the wild outsourcing back in 2008.

      Eventually they starting moving them back.

      Personally my productivity has never suffered due to a loss in IT staff anywhere I’ve worked. /s

      Lol. Give it a week, once they ask how to fix something they need help with.

      For my old job, we were the high spenders because our hardware refresh budget was every PC in the org. So the CEO thought we were bleeding money. They they pushed all the PC replacements costs onto the departments and suddenly IT wasn’t bleeding money anymore.

      We also migrated from Office 365 to Google Workspace (or w/e it was called at the time) because our new CIO had done it at another org and said it was amazing. We kept a tally on a big whiteboard in my office for how many people hated it and we were told to erase it because it looked bad when higher ups dropped by.

      ChatGPT is going to write their shitty new infotainment system that they plan to run on low quality computing hardware

      GM…all the American auto companies are in a worse mess than the from the gas shortage in the 1970s, when Toyota rose like a phoenix, never to look back.

      This is round 2. But now we have efficient hybrids, and EVs. Pushed by every country’s auto businesses but ours.

      They’re trying to do something, but again, it’s the wrong thing.

      Not surprised they did this. I worked there till I was laid off and since 2022 the big boogeyman in the back of everyone’s minds was the fear of quarterly layoffs then monthly layoffs and being next. I will say the severance was nicer than most companies.

      My company vehicle is a GM. It’s pure trash….like really badly designed. They need to think about making decent vehicles, stick to basics.

      What most of these executives don’t know is that IT is ***literally*** the lifeblood of all companies.

      IT is literally what powers any company. The computers need to be set up. The networks need to be connected. Everything needs to be seamless.

      But more importantly, even if you set everything up perfectly, you need someone to support that structure.

      Look at any office in the world right now and I guarantee an IT person or a team of them put it together.

      Modern day business is literally nothing without IT.

      This is going to be hilarious for GM in 6 months once they’re dealing with the consequences of their stupidity.

      Hopefully you current GM employees land in a place where they actually value your contributions.

      This is like firing the janitor because you never see the floors dirty anyways.

    29. Idiot_Savant_13 on

      Cuz in the modern workforce, screwing over & pissing off your IT people always works out *so* well..?

      This is going to end up like when GM bean counters started shaving a few cents on the costs of the ignition switch spring, which lead to the deaths of so many people.

      Only a matter of months before we see them on the news starting that they were compromised.
