I have to confess. I still scroll Reddit from time to time (no longer use my account), and the front page just has a lot more variety. There’s still a lot of bot content from the occasional AITA that’s purely clickbait to the reposts.

I do like that comments and conversations are better here. I’m seeing familiar names and I like it.

At my multinational, we typically hire in the hundreds every month for customer service. It’s like a $15/hr job, very baseline entry level, no experience needed. Because of that, there’s a constant churn. Most folks go for a year and leave for other jobs, or get promoted.

Last year was the start of us rolling out AI tools. According to the year end report, our “customer score” skyrocketed, which tells the bosses that AI is great for customer service. Also a few months ago, I noticed we weren’t refilling Customer Service jobs as fast anymore.

So these are the people who are getting squeezed out.

Funny you say this. I’m watching my local coding community say things like “We used to apply to 100+ jobs and get an interview. Now it’s like 300+ jobs.”

It’s a serious change

I have never heard of hunter safety. Then again, I live in the city and most of the folks I know are cosplay hunters who brag about one day hunting a deer but would cry if they ever had to skin a rabbit.

Any organizations you can recommend?
