IBM Just Replaced HR with AI!! Who's Next?
So IBM just axed 8,000 people, and most of them are from the HR department. Why? Because AI can now read resumes, schedule interviews, give you automated rejection emails, and probably tell you “we’ll get back to you” with more emotion than some recruiters ever did. Don’t get me wrong automation has its place. But when a company replaces humans who built its culture with lines of code, you’ve got to wonder… Is anyone safe? First HR, then maybe finance, operations, even tech support? What’s left AI managing AI? To IBM: maybe try evolving with your people, not without them. Thoughts? Is this the future we signed up for?🙄

...any for women employees, offering a good balance between work and personal life. Even though there are opportunities for upskilling and professional growth, the salary and raises are relatively low. Despite this drawback, it's an excellent company for continuous learning and achievement.
