Yes government is correct. If they work in education it’s likely for the government in the education field. My philosophy is if I’m out of work I’ll do anything and everything to work. Pride can’t be a factor. Eventually I’ll look for something better but I’ll take what I can get in the short term. Most people won’t do that.

Let me guess, she also claimed to be a lesbian and had "female problems" which handicapped her.

That would make her a "quad" in HR parlance, and firing her would cost a fortune. Since she has "left" three companies, she is probably sitting on seven figures and can vacation at Martha's Vineyard.

Then again, sounds like me when I was on vacation at a younger age and met some chick. "Ya ever met a millionaire, RE Trinidad, west Texas, oil.

Debatable. While some of those firms have cut certain AI roles, it’s less AI tech replacing them and more strategic pivots offsetting the insane overhiring at the height of the boom

But anyone with experience at those 3 that can’t find a job? That’s a skill issue. Corporates are still desperate to figure out how to unlock AI. There’s still tons of roles for qualified professionals in the space

Though the key word is “qualified”

She was correct.

If she's an AI professional I'm a nuclear scientist.

so many unproductive middle tier bureaucrats have been downsized/eliminated
Maybe, but there were some really great employees at IBM, both US citizens and H1b workers, that were terminated at the end of last year. It was the unproductive, bloated VP level that suffered zero losses. It's a good old boys club there and they take care of their own.

Back when I worked we laid off the bottom 5% based on appraisals every year as a starting point. If things were bad or changes were needed in staffing that would go up laying off the next tranche of poor performers…..

The top 50% of performers were never in danger of being laid off or not receive in good bonus.


Just stay in the top 50% and you will never be laid off…..

Not necessarily true.

Just went through a massive 20% reduction where the cuts were not performance based.

Role based.

Some roles were completely eliminated across the board and remaining roles absorbed some of the responsibilities. Some parts of the work process completely dropped with no plan to fill the void. The company hired an outside firm to design the new organizational models and my company followed the plan.


So many mistakes made. Lots of high performers cut and low performers retained. They have no clue how the work gets done.

Global leadership blamed AI but in reality it’s been poor decision making at the top for two decades.

Considering the AI industry is exploding with growth and opportunity, she must have been pretty bad at her job or had a terrible attitude. Or both

All you need to “train” LLMs is a bachelor degree and the ability to fill out a resume. Prolly what she did.

She is absolutely right. Trump has been running off superfluous, government workers who are overstuffed with worthless humanities degrees, and a large percentage of those are black women.

That should not affect the woman in question, though, because she was working in the private sector. I can’t imagine how Trump’s policies affected her, unless it was to relax the DEI pressure on companies and she had been a DEI hire.

ETA: In fact, the more I think about it the more likely this seems. AI is booming right now. She is “an AI Professional”? And she can’t get a job? Yeah, she was DEI and is worthless. Good for Trump.

You are the biggest dumbass on the board. The government was the largest employer of black women which is why they can’t get a job now. Those unnecessary, overpaid jobs are gone. The next time you pretend to care about government debt remember that basic fact

I did forget that she also said Trump hates Kamala Harris and he's getting even with her by keeping black women from getting a job.
Maybe she was a DEI hire like Kamala and she couldn't do the job she was hired for. Sort of like Kamala being the "border czar".

I asked her why she can't get a job with that resume.


Did she resemble this in any way, shape, or form?
