The technology white collar eradication continues. Since 2022 where #TCI Fundie #ChristopherHohn* decided he needed a pay rise, one way was to demand #google loose it’s “over paid” #Engineers. Big Tech has followed by stripping workers and looking at #AI as a replacement,

It’s 2025 and…

“Meta's plan to erase 5% of workforce starts today”

VS

“Binned off staff, slashed stock options. What's next? Ah yes, bigger C-suite bonuses (Meta/Facebook)”

The Register · Meta's plan to erase 5% of workforce starts todayBy Paul Kunert

过去一周参加了几位来自美国的TCI教学专家老师们的workshop. 他们风格迥异,但是都充满抗争力量和生命活力。

E老师是位从教48年的老师,是教学评估方向的专家,任职教育咨询集团。她头发全白,平时喜欢玩在沙漠里骑行,背上还要背着她的小狗!
她向我们展示团队的研究,解释在语言学习上,设置不恰当的学习目标和考试,将极大伤害学生的学习能力,令他们越学越差。全部中国老师都非常困惑,因为这就是我们学校教学的日常啊。E老师说:“你们天天这么做,你们的教育体系要求你们这么做,不代表你们就是对的。”

她分享了她个人的求学故事。她来自一个西班牙裔移民国家,但是她小时候不会说西班牙语。在十多岁的时候不想上学,于是在美国各处游历,一共住过48个州。

二十几岁的时候,她决定回到学校,于是去大学学西班牙语。她以极大的热情,投入大量精力来学习这门语言,结果期末考的时候得了个D,原因却是因为提交的作品不符合老师的评价标准。她说:“一个聪明的学生,怀抱着热情,投入极大精力来学习,结果却是个D,这只能说明,这个评价系统有问题!” 于是,她退学了🤣

一年后,她又辗转回到大学学习。

@mhoye “Major wall st fund managers and stock holders started putting together a plan to put pressure on the wage and RSU growth.”

TCI via Christopher Hohn. When I read this on FT in Nov. ‘22 at the time ChatGTP was released it to me, was the trigger point for mass layoffs.

#TCI Fund Management, the activist hedge fund helmed by U.K. billionaire #ChristopherHohn, touted a massive stake in #Google parent #Alphabet on Tuesday as he called on the company to cut costs by reducing its head count and paying workers less, becoming the latest high-profile investor slamming the formerly high-flying tech sector amid broader market weakness.”

Forbes · Billionaire Hedge Fund Investor Urges Alphabet To Cut Costs: ‘No Justification’ For Salaries That Are ‘Too High’By Jonathan Ponciano

Late in November 2022 a decision was made to pivot from human innovation and engineering to #AI augmentation with the sole aim of reducing costs.

#TCI Fund Management: “cost base of the business is "too high and that management needs to take aggressive action. The company has too many employees and the cost per employee is too high," *

#ChristopherHohn in November ‘22 made that statement € and the matket followed. Sacked engineers from #tech companies through this year will exceed 224,503. ¥

That savings is going to AI investment with one of the aims to drive down the cost of technical #engineering in software, ie: salaries.

The Register · Investor tells Google: Cut costs now and stop paying staff so muchBy Paul Kunert

The #AI wars between #tech companies is heating up and #Google executives just gave its parent company #Alphabet a USD $100B dollar pay cut.

Remember #ChristopherHohn #TCI back in November ‘22 called out #WhiteCollar tech workers for being paid too much?

Chris “holds a stake valued at $6bn” stake and won’t be pleased 🤣

@hacks4pancakes
"200,000k as a married working couple"?

Did you read the #TCI letter? Median salary is stated as $300,000.

Its not a wage, its clearly #Extortion by Google.

We are so glad this was an #OpenLetter. We would like to see all co-conspirators earning that #payoff (read: laundered money) to be brought to court for their abuses. Including abuse suppression, censorship, treason.
