      „CEO Carl Eschenbach emphasized that AI agents will be able to take on more than just one specific, step-by-step task like writing software code, fraud detection, or invoice processing. Instead, he foresees AI agents as learning and adding new skills over time, ultimately taking on entire roles in a company. In effect, Eschenbach says AI agents will become “digital employees” that will “peacefully coexist” with human ones.“

      Workday’s announcement about its AI agents comes a week after it [laid off](https://archive.is/o/CkT6E/https://fortune.com/2025/02/07/workday-layoff-ai-future-of-work/) 1,750 employees, or about 8.5% of its workforce.“

      Translation: „AI Agents are unable to shoot CEOs for poor working conditions and thus the CEOs can make money peacefully“

      Ugh, my employer used this atrocious piece of software. Perhaps the AI can find a way to make it more user friendly.

      Don’t worry. The Face-eating Leopard is definitely not going to eat your face this time.

      I *super* promise

      This guys looks like the CEO of workday. I’ve never seen him before but if you said “draw the human equivalent of inefficient and embarrassing software” I would draw this face.

      Well if these agents are as thought out as Workday’s UI, then I think people’s jobs are safe.

      Thank goodness we are able to ditch this horrible app soon at work, and I can finally delete it from my phone forever.

      I’ve watched this „peaceful coexistence“ thing on Star Trek. I know better.

      This is right up there with „We want you to train this person to do your job. But don’t worry about it – you’re fine.“

      Lattice tried to do this and everyone crucified their CEO, a woman. Carl Eschebach says it and everyone is like yeah…I mean I guess that makes sense.

      Workday should start with making their software more efficient. I have to click 10 buttons to complete a simple task. It’s least efficient software I use all day.

      Our species is playing with fire and far too many of you are giddy to be holding the gasoline and matches

      Workday is by far the worst HR system I have ever used, and I’ve used many over the last 30 years. How they think AI could possibly help is beyond me. I personally hope this is the beginning of the end for them.

      Your AI coworker is watching you and everything you do. You are actively training your replacement. Once AI has observed you doing your job long enough you will be fired and replaced. Middle managers, do you believe the forklift driver in the warehouse gives a fuck about where his work orders are coming from? Managers, do you believe the field supervisors you oversee care about where their Emails come from? You will be watching white collar, desk jobs being replaced in real time. Get forklift certified or figure out where the foodstamps office is in your county.

      Workday can’t even parse a document properly. How are they going to make this work?

      They know it’s BS.  We know it’s BS.  They know we know it’s BS.  They try to float it anyway.

      Nothing says “people care is one of our core values” like replacing them with AI.

      I’ll believe this when the agent model can do slightly more than remember screenshots from various websites and how things are laid out.

      Oh sure and they will contribute all that extra profit to a national UBI fund too, naturally.

      Once the Board of Directors realize they can divvy up the CEOs money and of course they’ll be on board, but hopefully the AI will also get rid of the board of directors

      One of the things about adult life they don’t really prepare you for is all the casual lying and bullshit that most of the world runs on. People just say things that are untrue because it benefits them to do so and we all accept it.

      god damn Workday is such an awful piece of software, I literally won’t apply to a job anymore if their HRIS is through Workday, having to create a brand new account for every company’s separate Workday instance is diabolical.
