Amazon is using algorithms to automatically fire Flex workers
How long before they bring it to warehouse workers and then SWE's? They don't even need managers to pip people anymore. The software will first fire the team that developed it, and then others, I suspect :-P https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2021/06/amazon-is-firing-flex-workers-using-algorithms-with-little-human-intervention/
Ars Technica
New PIP technology ?
Imagine getting fired by the software you wrote
Or built a backdoor that makes you immune from pip
Imagine being fired by the software that you wrote, after which the software computes that there is no need to fire anyone else in the company
If a software tells bezos there no no need to pip anyone else, then that software is going to be PIPed next
You know it dog!
Fuck this could be an episode of Black Mirror
No one gives a shit
First PIP
Auto fire
Fuck Amazon
