AI for Layoffs: In this changing era of Artificial Intelligence (AI), news of layoffs are continuously coming to the fore. Thousands of people are being thrown out of work. Many companies are preparing for more layoffs. Whatever may be the reason, losing a job is no less than a shock for any person. However, it is worth wondering whether AI alone is responsible for people losing their jobs or are there some other reasons too.
Such workers live in Target
Avik, who has been an HR professional on Instagram, said that layoff decisions are not taken overnight. He also told that this phase of layoffs has not started only because of AI automation, but compliance is also responsible for it. This means that employees who do not follow the process or do not complete training are always in the target. They are at the highest risk of losing their jobs.
Now layoffs due to overhiring
Overhiring can also be held responsible for this. After Corona and the sudden boom in digitalization, companies had assumed that growth would continue. During this time, big teams were formed, people were hired indiscriminately, many different roles emerged. Now when the demand is decreasing, the budget is being cut. This is the time when management is forced to reduce the number of its employees. In such a situation, AI alone cannot be made a villain, it is just a means. The real culprit is uncontrolled expansion.
A hint is enough for the wise.
When someone is about to lose his job, he gets many signals such as suddenly your workload is increased, your share of work or responsibility is given to someone else. You start being kept out of meetings, projects or some important discussions. The manager’s behavior changes suddenly. Suddenly faults are found in your work and you are stopped from getting promotion or growth. However, it is not necessary that if this is happening to you too, then your job is in danger, but there is no harm in sensing the signs in time and looking for the right opportunity so that even if there is a layoff, you can easily overcome it.
