The large financial company that I work for

So the company that is obsessed with money that you work for has discovered a way to (they think) make more money by getting rid of you and you're surprised by this?

At least you've been forewarned. Take the opportunity to abandon ship. Don't be the last one standing when the music stops.

I never said that I was surprised. I just wanted to point out that many companies like my own are already making significant changes to how they hire and fire. They need to justify their large investment in AI even though we know the tech isn't there yet.
