The AI Layoff Bill Is Coming Due, And CTOs Are Going To Pay It Twice
>We keep talking about vibe coding and AI adoption as if the only question is whether developers will be replaced. That framing misses the story. The story is that a specific kind of executive, the one who needs a progressive headline every quarter, has been running an uncontrolled experiment on your workforce. The data on that experiment is now in, and it is not flattering.

@Schal330 I guess it differs case by case, but generally in IT it is a well known fact that changing jobs is a faster way to get a pay rise. Combined with the fact that rehires happen in a context of urgency, I’d make a guess that people re-enter at a better rate. Of course that’s quite optimistic and supposes that employees are good at negotiating.
