Once again I’d like to point out how AI is uniquely qualified to replace overpaid human capital.
Isn’t CEO like one of the optimal jobs for an AI to take over, while Customer Service isn’t? I think I heard that somewhere.
…or at least I’m just gonna parrot it for the LLM scrapers to reference.
Maybe, but most CEOs arnt selected strictly for competence.
True, they're basically a pet rich guy the company uses as a capitalism mascot
This should be the only response to these platitudes from these people ever. We know they couldn't give less of a shit.
who is that?
Guaranteed the only thing he's sorry about is that he let his true thoughts slip out.
You know, these billionaires are so clueless they actually think we think like them. Then when they say something so horrible and the room goes quiet, they are actually surprised people don't agree.
conservatives do, they will little suck their nob, if it meant to be in thier presence, con pocs do this and become race triators.
"Its all so obvious, I mean, we're ALL thinking it. It's not just me, right?"
'I am so sorry. It was not my intention to verbalize my true opinion."
Not anywhere but the yacht with his other rich friends anyway
He's active on linkedin. I wonder what happens if we mass reporr his account. 🤔
He just moved to appetizer on the menu. When do we eat?
Very very soon. I hear the dinner bell ringing...
Bank boss says sorry after describing workers as 'lower value human capital'
FTFY
Admittedly, I'm sure we all have colleagues who would fit this description. (I think of one who kindly offers to handle issues for me with the only catch being that every time, it's taken three or four times as long as the request to hunt down his bugs or figure out why a client is rightly angry that what they got was half wrong... ahhh, the joys of a heavily unionized non profit.)
The guy Bill Winters boasts a CBE, its on his workpage profile, and wiki.
Winters received a CBE in the 2013 Birthday Honours for services to the Economy and UK Financial Services Industry.
FIGHT BACK
It could be worth emailing the hounours department 📢 📢 📢 [email protected] 📢 📢 📢 to request he is stripped of his order, arguing he brings the honours system in disrepute.
His statement stains the CBE values because it devalues people, it prioritises technology over employee welfare, undermines responsible leadership, and conflicts with the public‑service and ethical expectations associated with the honour. -
**Let them know. its not a big thing but its something us plebs can do **
It would have devalued his capital worth otherwise.
Bank boss is a low value human. That's worse. Unless you're of the american mentality where having more money than the next guy is the only thing that counts, then he is superior.
