No chat or didn't give misleading information. It acted on the companies behalf and gave truthful information that the company didn't agree with. Too flippin bad companies. You deploy robots to fulfill the jobs of humans, then you deal with the consequences when you lose money. I'm glad you're getting screwed by your own greed, sadly it's not enough.
A lot of the layoffs are due to AI.
Imagine when they find out it's actually shit and they need to hire the people back and they ask for a good salary. They'll turn around again asking their gouvernements for subsidies or temporary foreign workers saying no one wants to work anymore.
I'd love if there were some sort of salary baseline that companies are required to abide before asking for staffing handouts. "We've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas!"
It's called a prevailing wage request and one is required before an overseas worker can be considered for a position in the US. Yes this isn't for handouts but for outsourcing work but that does exist in a sense.
