Anonymized quotes from reports

They never said it is AI on the record, they called it restructuring. But it was AI in essence. My company was part of a VC firm also invested in AI. They kept the lower-paid colleague to do the same amount of work with AI.

I literally ran educational sessions about AI tools at an ad agency and still got laid off. That was 2.5 years ago. I am now selling my home of 15 years.

Fired from ad agency after 2 months. The agency head wants to hire as few people as possible and do more AI projects. She told a master logo designer that AI can do a better job. Two designers were let go.
