“Staff at #WiseTech have been waiting almost three months to be told if they are among the 2,000 people the logistics software company is to cut due to advances in #AI, with #workers criticising the wait as stressful and “ridiculous”.

The comments come as its founder on Tuesday told #investors an #AIAgent could learn a human’s job in just 15 minutes, according to the #AustralianFinancialReview.

The Australian Stock Exchange-listed company announced in late February that it would #LayOff almost 30% of its #workforce across 40 countries, with 2,000 of the 7,000 jobs set to go over the next 18 months.

Some areas would be hit harder than others, with product and development and customer service teams expected to be reduced by up to 50%, the chief #executive, #ZubinAppoo, told an investor briefing in February.

“The era of manually writing #code as the core act of #engineering is over,” Appoo said.”

Joining a Company the Founder Still Runs
이 글은 창업자가 여전히 경영에 관여하는 회사에 고위 임원이 합류할 때 발생하는 문제를 다룬다. 임원은 기존 시스템을 고장난 것으로 보고 고치려는 본능을 가지지만, 창업자가 만든 독특한 운영 방식과 전략은 회사의 경쟁 우위의 핵심이므로 이를 무분별하게 바꾸는 것은 위험하다. 성공적인 임원은 기존 시스템의 설계 의도를 이해하고, 변화가 필요한 부분과 유지해야 할 부분을 구분하는 지적 겸손과 호기심을 가져야 한다고 강조한다. 또한 창업자는 핵심 선택사항과 그 이유를 명확히 문서화하여 임원과의 소통을 원활히 해야 한다고 조언한다.

Here's a new (short) video snapshot of Sir's terrific #cognitive mechanisms, sound bites, & auto-routines.

Sir "Stable Genius" with "all the best words" but zero ( #cognitive ) #Executive skills (like reasoning, planning), #concepts - and even less humanity.

In cartoon form, I am fond of Mark Bryan's "Trump-o-Matic" [Below, 2/2]

As I've said for a long time, "he only has a few gears, and they are all slipping bigly..."
