@Cassandra_Complex @Daojoan banks: close every branch and replace everyone with AI chat bots, got it
webhat@elexia @Cassandra_Complex @Daojoan my first IT job, in the Netherlands, was at the end of the last century when a bank decided that they should get everyone on the internet, so they started an ISP, which later transformed into a "free" ISP
Their long game was to have online banking, so they could close local branch offices

A manager once, with a straight face and his whole chest, told me the next step up the corporate ladder from bank teller was moving to a larger city and working in their call center.
Not only would I have to relocate, pay more for housing, report to a building with many staff during COVID, but obviously without any raise. Wait, why was I not enthused after 7 years with the company?!?
