Founder Richard White revealed the incident in an email sent to the company’s staff. The threats follow the company’s February announcement to lay off 2,000 employees, representing about one-third of its workforce. frusterated staff were left in suspense for months due to chaotic communication and changing deadlines. Leadership aggressively promoted AI integration, with White boasting that it was foolish to pay $100 for human labor when an AI agent costs only $2. Appoo also noted that he expects further efficiency gains as technology improves. A similar crisis occurred at Standard Chartered, where CEO Bill Winters apologized after calling workers “lower-value human capital.” These events highlight 1 growing trend of rising social tensions over AI-driven layoffs.
