So remember when companies laid people off because “AI can do your job now”?
Yeah… about that.
Turns out:
• AI agents are bad at basic office work
• Customer service bots tank customer satisfaction
• Executives are quietly rehiring the same people
• Sometimes at lower pay
• Same job, though. Weird how that works
According to multiple reports, over half of companies regret AI-driven layoffs — not because they suddenly care, but because the tools weren’t actually ready and someone still has to deal with the mess.
AI didn’t replace workers.
It exposed bad leadership, lazy systems, and executives who believed a demo video.
Now we’re watching companies:
• Fire people for AI
• Realize AI can’t handle the in-between stuff
• Rehire humans
• Pretend this was all part of the plan
AI is a tool.
It’s useful.
It’s powerful.
But it’s not your coworker — and it definitely isn’t your entire workforce.
If you’ve noticed customer service getting worse, interviews getting weirder, or LinkedIn filling up with low-effort AI posts… yeah. Same.
Let me know what you think in the comments.
