Great show today, Ray.
Let's run it back tomorrow.
Yeah, I think my hottest take here is that this is just laziness. It's laziness from the management team that basically is pining for these like older, the olden days when they could tell how hard people were working by standing behind their desk.
And I think that instead of doing the actual work of determining who are high performers, who maybe should be downsized or right-sized or whatever the hell they want to talk about, they're just saying, if you work from home and you want to stay there, just leave. And I think that that's a very lazy practice and it's not going to It's not going to turn into improved performance.
It's maybe going to cut costs for a little bit, but I don't think it's going to do that much in the long run.
I think it depends on the general environment. Like I think if every single company starts to enact mandatory return to office policies, then employees may not have a choice.
But I think if companies like Allstate, which we talked about in a previous episode, decide to make co-working and flexible working and hybrid working more of an option, they're going to have the leg up and you will see in the long run better talent going and driving to those companies.
Yes, and also I would like to say that those last two I actually think might have been a little bit justified. And we went back and forth.
It's not necessarily that, but there are rules for a reason. And I'm not saying that Meta should have fired these people for misusing these perks or that EY should have fired these people for whatever they're doing. I think it's more like it's a slippery slope. If they're fudging the rules on these small things, could that be an indication of a larger issue with those employees?
So that being said, I do think it's very silly to fire somebody for being part of Fantasy Football League, but I kind of understand where they're coming from. They are rules that they've set. They're allowed to like enforce those rules.
I think also one of the things that we actually don't know about these sneaky layoffs is how abrupt they were. Were people warned about this and then they were fired? If that's the case, then you have, you know, you're probably fine. If you get warned about misuse of the $30 credits, maybe just don't misuse them again. And now you'll be okay.
But I think for the most part, maybe revisit that employee handbook if you're a little nervous and try to reduce your rule breaking.
I am also a worker and I am not. I really don't care about AI. So it's tough for me to have a big opinion on this. I think when you're using AI tools to get unstuck, to help brainstorm, to reduce task fatigue, to be more productive, great. Where I run into issues is when it's used to communicate things. to other people, and then it's very obvious that AI has been used.
To me, and I think to other maybe potentially hiring managers, that's a signal that you're not thinking very deeply to at least try to mask the fact that you used AI in the first place. So that's one of the things I think we might see a backlash of in 2025.
Yeah. Sometimes I kind of feel like somebody before the Internet being like, why would I use the Internet when I have books? So I could be wrong. And I will. Let's revisit this in December of 2025. Sure.
Thank you. I appreciate it.
Yeah, I think it's all connected, right? So we've been talking about sneaky layoffs, backdoor layoffs. If these knowledge workers, tech workers are getting laid off and don't necessarily see any prospects in the job market, it makes sense that they're looking for ways to strengthen their resume.
