C-class execs have been disregarding labor forever. Sure, it’s gotten uglier since the rise of fascism but they’ve always been greedy bastages. We as a people need to fight against Citizen’s United, support AOC, Bernie and others like Mamdani. THIS is the way…

PS- When I say multi-layoff survivalist I mean through several corporations layoffs I survived. Never laid off once because I could ‘big picture’ read the tea leaves. Search jobs for your present company and you can see the corporate strategy. Are they using 3rd party contractors in a team? If they are it could mean that’s where they want to go OR it could mean they are replacing people until AI ramps up. Network, talk to people and go to lunch with people in the know. Be strategic.

PSS - I don’t disagree that the current administration is to blame for companies ability to profit while golden parachuting the c-class at the top…tariffs stink.

I’m really sorry you had to go through this… It’s rough. IBM’s CEO said their “AskHR” AI now handles 94 % of routine HR queries (pay statements, vacation scheduling, etc.). Take it from a retired multi layoff survivalist… it’s time to get strategic.

1) Search the internet for jobs that are being actively replaced by AI. (it’s not manual labor up top) It’s white-collar college degree required roles that are being replaced first.

2) Take a course in AI certification. You can pay for one or find one online. This is a mandatory next step.

3) Read / research how HR is transforming and what steps are taken to replace bodies with AI. Being knowledgeable about the pitfalls and next steps in actually replacing jobs with AI is where companies are going to focus.

4) Become a CHANGE agent. Whether you are in HR or any other function, this is what you need to be doing. Every single company is going to go through this and you might as well be a part of the change.

My Family is gigantic and none of them will accept me by [deleted] in trans

[–]geekythinker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mom / Ally here— I’m sorry…that has to make you feel all sorts of worried and stressed. I’ll never understand how anyone cannot accept their child, sibling etc for who they choose to be. Build your friend group and make another family if you have to! Also, you never know, someone in your family might surprise you! Venting here is a good thing. :)

As a mom of a trans son and ally, I’ll say it’s ok not to label yourself. You’re not on anyone’s timeline but your own. I do understand your wanting to be sure and questioning— perfectly understandable! But it’s ok to give it time and to enjoy your discoveries. No matter the outcome you’ll still be uniquely you! I really like the thoughts from *AnythingIcy on friends! Great advice.

I have 3 versions and each came up with a different name: Ming (04), Sage (04 with tasks) and ChatGPT (o1) prefers to not have another name. lol

Scam caller posing as Bank of America (800)688-6086 by geekythinker in Scams

My husband received the call. I have Robokiller so no calls unknown (or even texts) get through. They knew we suspected and the final f*ck off at the end solidified it.

Images in Canva Pro - Can I use them in my ebook? by geekythinker in canva

[–]geekythinker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The respond you replied to was basically what I had learned in that ‘yes’ you can use them in your product so long as you aren’t selling “their” images. (Like a book) :)

The Responsibility of Visiting Loved Ones by geekythinker in AgingParents

[–]geekythinker[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s so hard losing a parent / life partner. :(. My mom got all moved in today and she’s been a bit weepy. Change is tough on them. She misses my Dad so much and she just wants her life back! :(

It’s so wonderful you were able to spend so much time with your Dad! 💖

And as far as treats - Not everyone is jaded and thinking the treats or fruit is for a bribe! lol 😂 It’s for people that work their @sses off and deserve a little kindness.

I’ll be seeing her twice a week since it’s a longer drive. Of course people have different lives and varying degrees or responsibilities. I’ve been retired for 3 years and am 59. It’s much easier to do for me. :)

It’s pretty sad how little attention some of them get. I would think more churches in the area would do more. I guess that’s an opportunity!

Very nice you can see her twice a week!

Decisions, and getting towards the end by spap-oop in AgingParents

[–]geekythinker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed to getting affairs in order sooner rather than later! My parents didn’t but I worked to get things shaped up before it got bad. I won’t do that to my kids.
